English+14ptsCDE level: Accelerated (4 of 5)

Math+18ptsCDE level: Accelerated (4 of 5)

What the number means. California predicts each student’s score from that student’s own English and math scores the year before, based on how students with similar scores did across the state. Zero would mean students here scored as predicted. In English they scored 14 points above that prediction, and in math 18 points above it.

The levels. CDE sorts every school’s result into five levels, from Minimal to Exceptional. The bar under each number shows where this school landed.

Two years at once. For most schools, this one included, CDE’s figure blends the two most recent years of growth, so it moves more slowly than a single year’s scores.

School pattern, spring 2025High CeilingThe average Exceeded rate across the reported grades and subjects is at least 50%.

Data source: Los Angeles Unified School District, School Experience Survey 2025–26 (researcher file). Students in grades 4–12 take it; some questions go only to older grades. Theme figures are our average of the questions listed under each theme, the way LAUSD averages its own topics. LAUSD publishes no minimum number of answers; we show a question only when at least 20 people answered it, and a group’s answers only when at least 10% of that group responded.

At Kentwood Elementary in Los Angeles, 56.2% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025 for reported grades 3, 4 and 5, compared to 38.9% district-wide for those same grades and 35.2% statewide for those same grades. Kentwood Elementary’s rate for low-income students exceeds its district average by 17.4 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: low-income students (60.4% met or exceeded the Math standard); White students (97.1% met or exceeded the ELA standard). The widest gap between a student group’s met-or-exceeded rate and the school-wide rate is 32.8 percentage points: low-income students in Math. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 48 ELA grade test records.

Common questions

Is Kentwood Elementary a good elementary school?

Kentwood Elementary is in the 96th percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter elementary schools. Its Scope Score is 75 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In spring 2025, on California's state tests (CAASPP), Kentwood Elementary was well above California in English and math: 82% and 81% met or exceeded the standard in grades 3–5, against 46% and 41% statewide. The Scope Score combines 6 dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard, met or exceeded the standard, grade 3-to-5 growth, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.

What are Kentwood Elementary's CAASPP test scores?

In spring 2025, 82% of students tested in grades 3–5 met or exceeded the English standard and 81% the math standard; 64% and 63% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 46% and 41% met or exceeded, 24% and 21% exceeded. 125 students were tested in English and 125 in math (CDE CAASPP 2024–25; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).

How does Kentwood Elementary rank in California?

Kentwood Elementary is in the 96th percentile of 5,721 California comprehensive elementary schools (Strong, 2025). Kentwood Elementary ranks #183 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), 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 do attendance and suspension records show for Kentwood Elementary?

CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 9.4% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 34 chronically absent of 363 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 0.3%; 1 unduplicated suspended students of 370 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 10.3%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 0.4%. These are model inputs, not CDE's reported rates. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.

How does Kentwood Elementary compare to other schools in Los Angeles?

Kentwood Elementary is in the 96th percentile (Strong) of California’s regular public and charter elementary schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same measures side by side: the share of students who met or exceeded the standard, the share who exceeded it, growth, chronic absence and suspensions. The school serves 352 students. Use the schools in Los Angeles page or the map view to compare nearby elementary schools.

The Absent and Susp columns are SchoolScope model-adjusted scoring inputs, rather than raw CDE-reported school rates.

Grade gap = this year's grade 3 vs grade 5 result, two different sets of students, not a trend for any one child — it is not the measurement the Scope Score's growth dimension uses. See §01 above and /methodology#verdicts for the school's actual scored (cohort) growth.

CDE reports scale-score points versus its growth-model prediction — not a percentage or percentile. The table keeps the group records SchoolScope imported for this school, including rows below our narrative display threshold. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a valid growth score. SchoolScope uses that threshold for the shorter narrative view; the reported values stay visible here. “Not categorised” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. CDE labels at least one imported estimate here WEIGHTED; that describes its aggregation method, not a year-over-year trend. A group absent from this table has no imported record shown here. Its absence alone does not establish its size or performance. CDE growth covers grades 4–8. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points versus its prediction for matched students, never a percentage. Among SchoolScope's retained California elementary school records, the median ELA estimate is +2 and the middle half fall between −5 and +9 scale-score points — the spread is wide, so read its position among reported schools, not the sign. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes. The CDE measure covers grades 4–8 and is not part of the Scope Score.

ShowHide how the California mean was selected

SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.

SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
