Common questions

Is Leona Valley Elementary a good elementary school?

Leona Valley Elementary is in the 62nd percentile (Solid) of California’s regular public and charter elementary schools. Its Scope Score is 41 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In spring 2025, on California's state tests (CAASPP), Leona Valley Elementary was near California in English and math: 56% and 48% met or exceeded the standard in grades 3 and 4, against 45% and 44% 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 Leona Valley Elementary's CAASPP test scores?

In spring 2025, 56% of students tested in grades 3 and 4 met or exceeded the English standard and 48% the math standard; 26% and 15% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 45% and 44% met or exceeded, 25% and 21% exceeded. 27 students were tested in English and 27 in math (CDE CAASPP 2024–25; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).

How does Leona Valley Elementary rank in California?

Leona Valley Elementary is in the 62nd percentile of 5,721 California comprehensive elementary schools (Solid, 2025). Leona Valley Elementary ranks #2,167 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 Leona Valley Elementary?

CDE chronic absence 2024–25: 26.3% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 21 chronically absent of 80 eligible students. CDE suspension 2024–25: 1.2%; 1 unduplicated suspended students of 83 cumulative enrollment. Separately, SchoolScope's adjusted chronic-absence scoring input is 23.3%. SchoolScope's adjusted suspension scoring input is 1.4%. 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 Leona Valley Elementary compare to other schools in Leona Valley?

Leona Valley Elementary is in the 62nd percentile (Solid) 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 79 students. Use the schools in Leona Valley page or the map view to compare nearby elementary schools.

What middle school does Leona Valley Elementary feed into?

By attendance boundary, Leona Valley Elementary is zoned to Joe Walker Middle. Joe Walker Middle has a Scope Score of 43 out of 100. Boundaries come from the U.S. Department of Education's School Attendance Boundary Survey, a 2015-16 collection and the most recent national one — they are approximate and may since have changed. A boundary is also not a placement guarantee: magnet, charter, open-enrollment and inter-district transfer options mean students from one school often continue to several different ones. Confirm your address with the district before making an enrollment or housing decision. Data source: NCES School Attendance Boundary Survey, analyzed by SchoolScope.

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.

What we can't show

— The same-year grade contrast is unavailable in this record; it is separate from the two-year aggregate comparison used for scoring.
— No subgroup comparison could be shown for this school this year — either its group sizes fall under CDE's 15-student reporting floor, or district/state comparison data wasn't available for its groups.

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.
