Progress over time

How are results changing through the middle years?

The state’s growth measure40 students · grades 7–8 · 2025
English−9ptsCDE level: Moderate (2 of 5)
Math0ptsCDE level: Average (3 of 5)

What the number means. California predicts each student’s score from that student’s own English and math scores the year before, based on how students with similar scores did across the state. Zero would mean students here scored as predicted. In English they scored 9 points below that prediction, and in math right at that prediction.

The levels. CDE sorts every school’s result into five levels, from Minimal to Exceptional. The bar under each number shows where this school landed.

Two years at once. For most schools, this one included, CDE’s figure blends the two most recent years of growth, so it moves more slowly than a single year’s scores.

Ask: Most students in grades 7 and 8 haven’t yet met the state’s standards in English and math. What extra help do they get, and how do you know it’s working?

Common questions

Is Green Valley Independent Study a good middle school?
Green Valley Independent Study is in the 26th percentile (Developing) of California’s regular public and charter middle schools. Its Scope Score is 29 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In spring 2026, on California's state tests (CAASPP), Green Valley Independent Study was well below California in English, near it in math: 24% and 24% met or exceeded the standard in grades 7 and 8, against 50% and 37% statewide. The 2026 Scope Score combines 6 dimensions for middle schools: exceeded standard, met or exceeded the standard, grade 6-to-8 growth, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP Smarter Balanced results, spring 2026, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Green Valley Independent Study's CAASPP test scores?
In spring 2026, 24% of students tested in grades 7 and 8 met or exceeded the English standard and 24% the math standard; 3% and 14% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 50% and 37% met or exceeded, 19% and 21% exceeded. 38 students were tested in English and 37 in math (CDE CAASPP 2025–26; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).
How does Green Valley Independent Study rank in California?
Green Valley Independent Study is in the 26th percentile of 2,532 California comprehensive middle schools (Developing, 2026). Green Valley Independent Study ranks #1,857 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. The 2026 Scope Score combines 6 dimensions for middle schools: exceeded standard, met or exceeded the standard, grade 6-to-8 growth, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See full methodology.
What do attendance and suspension records show for Green Valley Independent Study?
CDE chronic absence 2025–26: 34.3% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 37 chronically absent of 108 eligible students. CDE suspension 2025–26: 0.0%; 0 unduplicated suspended students of 113 cumulative enrollment. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.
How does Green Valley Independent Study compare to other schools in Yucaipa?
Green Valley Independent Study is in the 26th percentile (Developing) of California’s regular public and charter middle schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same measures side by side: the share of students who met or exceeded the standard, the share who exceeded it, growth, chronic absence and suspensions. The school serves 77 students. Use the schools in Yucaipa page or the map view to compare nearby middle schools.
What do reported student-group results show at Green Valley Independent Study?
At Green Valley Independent Study in Yucaipa, 18% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) in grades 7–8 scored Proficient or Advanced (formerly Met or Exceeded) in reading and writing in spring 2026, compared with 33% across the district and 39% across California for the same group in the same grades. That is 15 points below the district rate for the same group. Also: low-income students, 6% in math. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP, spring 2026. 28 low-income students tested in reading and writing. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.

Each year names its school year end (2026 = 2025–26). “Students with scores” is the subject-specific rate denominator; ELA and Math counts must not be added. The 2015–2018 rows were checked against CDE’s original research files. The 2015 and 2016 files report whole percentages; later rows round to one decimal here. Older stored rows from other years still need independent original-file re-verification. A dash is unavailable, not zero. Before spring 2026, Advanced was reported as Exceeded and proficient or advanced as met or exceeded.

What we can't show
  • — The same-year grade contrast is unavailable in this record; it is separate from the two-year aggregate comparison used for scoring.
  • — Scored here as a middle school — other grade spans appear in the data appendix.
  • — Students classified as socioeconomically disadvantaged here trail the state average for their group by 22 points in ELA in grades 7–8 — worth asking how the school is closing that gap.

CDE reports scale-score points versus its growth-model prediction — not a percentage or percentile. The table keeps the group records SchoolScope imported for this school, including rows below our narrative display threshold. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a valid growth score. SchoolScope uses that threshold for the shorter narrative view; the reported values stay visible here. “Not categorised” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. CDE labels at least one imported estimate here WEIGHTED; that describes its aggregation method, not a year-over-year trend. A group absent from this table has no imported record shown here. Its absence alone does not establish its size or performance. CDE growth covers grades 4–8. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points versus its prediction for matched students, never a percentage. Among SchoolScope's retained California middle school records, the median ELA estimate is −2 and the middle half fall between −10 and +5 scale-score points — the spread is wide, so read its position among reported schools, not the sign. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes. The CDE measure covers grades 4–8 and is not part of the Scope Score.

How the California mean was selected

SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.

SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
