Most rating sites would stop at “28% proficient” and call it done. Extera Public deserves a closer read. The school sits in Los Angeles, where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

As a charter, Extera Public enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

Frequently asked questions

Is Extera Public a good elementary school?
Extera Public has a Scope Score of 34 out of 100, placing it in the 27th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #4,186 statewide. 8.7% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 12.6 percentage points below the California average of 21.3%. The Scope Score weights six dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard (43%), met or exceeded (22%), grade 3-to-5 growth (15%), chronic absenteeism (10%), ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%), and suspension rate (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Extera Public's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 27.9% of students at Extera Public met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 8.7% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 19.2% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 8.7% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it reveals whether a school's curriculum challenges students beyond minimum proficiency or paces toward it. 150 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Extera Public rank in California?
Extera Public ranks #4,186 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 27th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 3 to grade 5 growth), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
Is Extera Public getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Extera Public decreases by 19.5 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth. This downward pattern doesn't necessarily mean the school is failing — it can reflect cohort differences, demographic shifts, or curriculum changes. A campus visit and conversation with teachers can reveal what the numbers can't. Growth trajectory is weighted at 15% in the elementary Scope Score because it measures what the school does, not just who walks in the door.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Extera Public?
25.7% of students at Extera Public are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 1.6%, indicating a low-discipline-incident environment. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Extera Public compare to other schools in Los Angeles?
Extera Public scores 34/100 (27th percentile) among California elementary schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 236 students.

SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
