Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “49% proficient” and call it done. Kairos Public deserves a closer read. It sits at the 68th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.
The headline number: 3.0% chronic absenteeism — versus 17.9% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.
As a charter, Kairos Public enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
The story this school is actually telling
chronic absenteeism — versus 17.9% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.
math proficiency runs 42% in grade 3 against 32% in grade 5, while reading holds (54% to 54%). The state average rises by +4.5pp over the same span.
The school, grade by grade
ELA · CAASPP 2024–25Different students, same year — each bar is one grade's proficiency mix.
The honest read: the share exceeding falls 2.7pp across grades; the proficiency floor barely moves. The state average rises 4.5pp over the same span. The school's 5th graders aren't posting a wider lead than its 3rd graders. One question worth asking on a tour: are the strongest students being pushed, or coasting? A school visit and conversation with teachers will tell you more than this number.
Kairos Public's most underrated number
56.8% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide. That's the strongest kind of signal a school can post: it holds across income lines.
