Scope Score
63
💪 Strong All-Around · Solid
ranked #819 statewide · #1 of 8 in Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified
Inland Leaders Charter scores 63 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 86th 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 “67% proficient” and call it done. Inland Leaders Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in Yucaipa, where one in four students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 3.7% chronic absenteeism — versus 17.9% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.
As a charter, Inland Leaders Charter enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

What are Inland Leaders Charter's CAASPP test scores?

How does Inland Leaders Charter rank in California?
Inland Leaders Charter ranks #819 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 86th 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 Inland Leaders Charter getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Inland Leaders Charter increases by 3.0 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.

SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
