Most rating sites would stop at “35% proficient” and call it done. Geyserville deserves a closer read. The school sits in Geyserville, where more than half of 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.

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 Geyserville Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 34.7% of students at Geyserville Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 14.2% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 20.5% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 14.2% 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. 102 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Geyserville Elementary rank in California?
Geyserville Elementary ranks #5,659 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 1st 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 Geyserville Elementary getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Geyserville Elementary decreases by 31.9 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.
