Most rating sites would stop at “29% proficient” and call it done. Gabriella Charter 2 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.

Test scores are one lens, and at this school they're a rough one right now. The sections below show the fuller picture — including the parts that are working.

As a charter, Gabriella Charter 2 enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

What are Gabriella Charter 2's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 28.6% of students at Gabriella Charter 2 met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 6.1% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 22.5% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 6.1% 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. 251 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Gabriella Charter 2 rank in California?
Gabriella Charter 2 ranks #4,692 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 18th 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 Gabriella Charter 2 getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Gabriella Charter 2 decreases by 14.3 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.

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 Gabriella Charter 2 compare to other schools in Los Angeles?
