iLead Agua Dulce: The scores are below where anyone wants them. Here's what they don't tell you.
iLead Agua Dulce posts low test scores — and the same students gain more here than at most schools between grade 3 and grade 5. If this is your zoned school, the numbers below are where to start a conversation, not where to end one.
iLead Agua Dulce scores 26 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 13th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “18% proficient” and call it done. iLead Agua Dulce deserves a closer read. The school sits in Agua Dulce, where one in three students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
Test scores are one lens, and at this school they're a rough one right now. The sections below show the fuller picture — including the parts that are working.
As a charter, iLead Agua Dulce enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
