The headline number: 47.5% of students scored in the top band on the state test. The California average is 21.6%.

What are Green Valley Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 75.8% of students at Green Valley Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 47.5% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 28.2% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 47.5% 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. 477 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Green Valley Elementary rank in California?
Green Valley Elementary ranks #356 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 93rd 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 Green Valley Elementary getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Green Valley Elementary increases by 16.1 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth. This upward trajectory suggests the school is adding measurable value — students leave with higher proficiency rates than they entered with.
