Golden Eagle Charter scores 37 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 34th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Most rating sites would stop at “32% proficient” and call it done. Golden Eagle Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in Mount Shasta, where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 8.2% chronic absenteeism — versus 17.9% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.

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

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 Golden Eagle Charter's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 32.4% of students at Golden Eagle Charter met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 13.4% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 19.0% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 13.4% 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. 186 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Golden Eagle Charter rank in California?
Golden Eagle Charter ranks #3,792 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 34th 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 Golden Eagle Charter getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Golden Eagle Charter decreases by 2.8 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 Golden Eagle Charter?

The suspension rate is 0.2%, 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 Golden Eagle Charter compare to other schools in Mount Shasta?
