Most rating sites would stop at “28% proficient” and call it done. Grenada deserves a closer read. The school sits in Grenada, where two in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: +16.6pp separates this year's grade 3 from its grade 5. The state average rises 4.5pp over the same span. Following the same students from 2023 G3 → 2025 G5 points the same way.

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 Grenada Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 28.0% of students at Grenada Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 10.8% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 17.1% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 10.8% 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. 124 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Grenada Elementary rank in California?
Grenada Elementary ranks #2,182 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 62nd 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 Grenada Elementary getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Grenada Elementary decreases by 16.6 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 Grenada Elementary?

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 Grenada Elementary compare to other schools in Grenada?
