ranked #4,384 statewide · #47 of 50 in Chula Vista Elementary

Feaster (Mae L.) Charter scores 33 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 24th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →

Most rating sites would stop at “26% proficient” and call it done. Feaster (Mae L.) Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in Chula Vista, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 7.5% chronic absenteeism — versus 17.9% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.

As a charter, Feaster (Mae L.) Charter enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
