California’s growth results and student groups
State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25

California's own growth model places it near the 44th percentile of elementary schools.

Context — never part of the Scope Score

California runs its own growth model — it follows individual children in grades 4 through 8 and compares each one against a prediction from their own prior scores. On that measure this school sits a little below the middle of California elementary schools in reading and math together. We show it; we don't score it.

— pts vs expected is scale-score points above or below what California's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores. It is not a percentage and not a percent of anything. A typical California elementary school lands at +2 in reading, and the middle half of them fall between −5 and +9 — the spread is wide, so read the rank, not the sign. It covers grades 4-8 only, and it is not part of the Scope Score — we assessed it and left it out: it tracks school demographics roughly three times as strongly as our own growth measure does, and one published year is not enough to test how stable it is.

California follows these children individually and predicts each one's score from their own prior year. Each row is read against the same group at a typical California elementary school — not against zero, and not against this school's all-students figure, because the state's expectation already differs by group.

— 2 more groups are reported here with between 11 and 29 students. We hold those back on purpose: at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own, and a quarter of such groups land past the state's top or bottom cut point by chance alone. They are listed with their student counts in the data appendix. — A group not listed at all had fewer than 11 students with a growth score, so California published nothing for it here. That is a privacy protection, not a judgment about those students. — Context only. None of this enters the Scope Score.

TK/K students miss school at roughly twice the rate of Grades 4–6 students (22.8% vs 9.3%). Chronic absence here concentrates in the earliest grades — worth asking how the school works with new families on attendance.

The road from this school ends at Kerman High, which sent 7 graduates to UC campuses last fall and teaches 7 AP subjects. Those numbers describe past cohorts — a child starting here today would reach Kerman High around 2035, and 10 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 73% of Kerman High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.

Plan your next step

What should I do next?

Worth a school visit

Ask what the school is working on next. Strong numbers tell you where a school is, not where it's going.

  • Ask what changes between grade 3 and grade 5 here, and who teaches the older kids.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
  • Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
  • Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
  • Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Harvest Elementary a good elementary school?
Harvest Elementary has a Scope Score of 31 out of 100, placing it in the 36th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #3,661 statewide. 13.3% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 8.1 percentage points below the California average of 21.4%. The Scope Score weights 6 dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard (42%), met or exceeded (proficient) (23%), grade 3-to-5 growth (20%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Harvest Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 34.5% of students at Harvest Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 13.3% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 21.2% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 13.3% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 438 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Harvest Elementary rank in California?
Harvest Elementary ranks #3,661 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 36th 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.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Harvest Elementary?
12.9% of students at Harvest Elementary are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 2.2%. 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 Harvest Elementary compare to other schools in Kerman?
Harvest Elementary scores 31/100 (36th percentile) among California elementary schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 535 students. Use the schools in Kerman page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does Harvest Elementary serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Harvest Elementary in Kerman, 36.3% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 38.0% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Harvest Elementary trails its district average for low-income students by 1.7 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (24.9% Math proficient); Hispanic students (39.2% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 22.2 percentage points for english learner students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 245 students tested. 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.

Whole scale-score points above or below what CDE's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores — not a percentage, not a percentile. Statewide a typical school lands near +1 with a spread of about 13 points either side, so read a figure against its group's own typical value, not against zero. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a growth score — published by CDE, held back from the narrative sections above because at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own. “Not categorised” is CDE assigning no band — English Only, Recently Reclassified, and English Learners Only receive a value and no band, for every school in the state. It is not a missing number. A group absent from this table had fewer than 11 students with a growth score and was never published. Grades 4-8 only. None of this enters the Scope Score — it is more strongly correlated with school demographics than our own growth measure, and one published year is not enough to test its reliability.
