Annual results and the full academic record
Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025

Climbed from the 35th to the 67th percentile since 2019 — past roughly 1700 elementary schools.

Most rating sites would stop at “51% proficient” and call it done. Loma Rica deserves a closer read. More than half of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Loma Rica's low-income kids hit 59.5% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.

60 tested · 3 of 3 grades published · no cohort tracked

Loma Rica Elementary scores 44 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 67th percentile of 5,721 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

The pandemic drop is behind this school: 51% of students meet the standard today, above the 34% who did in 2019.

State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25

California's own growth model splits here — the 98th percentile in reading against the 63rd in math, among elementary schools.

Context — never part of the Scope Score

California runs its own growth model — it follows individual children in grades 4 through 8 and compares each one against a prediction from their own prior scores. On that measure this school sits well above the middle of California elementary schools in reading, and the 63rd in math. We show it; we don't score it.

— pts vs expected is scale-score points above or below what California's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores. It is not a percentage and not a percent of anything. A typical California elementary school lands at +2 in reading, and the middle half of them fall between −5 and +9 — the spread is wide, so read the rank, not the sign. CDE blends two consecutive years into each published figure, so adjacent years share input data and no year-over-year trend can honestly be drawn from them. It covers grades 4-8 only, and it is not part of the Scope Score — we assessed it and left it out: it tracks school demographics roughly three times as strongly as our own growth measure does, and one published year is not enough to test how stable it is.

Worth knowing

At 115 students, this school is much smaller than the typical California elementary school (≈480).

Transitional kindergarten is offered here — confirmed by actual Census Day enrollment, not just the listed grade span.

On the state's science test (CAST), 38% met or exceeded the standard — science is tested in grades 5 and 8 and once in high school, and it never enters the Scope Score.

The road from this school ends at Marysville High, which sent 9 graduates to UC campuses last fall and teaches 7 AP subjects. Those numbers describe past cohorts — a child starting here today would reach Marysville High around 2035, and 10 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 60% of Marysville High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.

Plan your next step

What should I do next?

Worth a school visit

Ask how the school challenges kids who clear the standard early. The gap between meeting and exceeding is where pacing shows.

  • Ask what changes between grade 3 and grade 5 here, and who teaches the older kids.
  • Ask whether extra support — tutoring, counseling, small groups — reaches kids across income lines, not just the students already ahead.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
  • Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
  • Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
  • Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Loma Rica Elementary a good elementary school?
Loma Rica Elementary has a Scope Score of 44 out of 100, placing it in the 67th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #1,865 statewide. 23.2% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is near the California average of 21.4%. The Scope Score weights 6 dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard (42%), met or exceeded (proficient) (23%), grade 3-to-5 growth (20%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Loma Rica Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 50.6% of students at Loma Rica Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 23.2% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 27.4% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 23.2% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 120 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Loma Rica Elementary rank in California?
Loma Rica Elementary ranks #1,865 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 67th 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.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Loma Rica Elementary?
15.8% of students at Loma Rica Elementary are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 0.3%, indicating a low-discipline-incident environment. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Loma Rica Elementary compare to other schools in Marysville?
Loma Rica Elementary scores 44/100 (67th percentile) among California elementary schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 115 students. Use the schools in Marysville page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does Loma Rica Elementary serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Loma Rica Elementary in Marysville, 59.5% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 30.4% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Loma Rica Elementary outperforms its district average for low-income students by 29.0 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (40.5% Math proficient); White students (51.6% ELA proficient). Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 37 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
What middle school does Loma Rica Elementary feed into?
By attendance boundary, Loma Rica Elementary is zoned to Foothill Intermediate. Foothill Intermediate has a Scope Score of 34 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.

A closer look at the evidence

Loma Rica Elementary: reading the evidence

Loma Rica posts 51% meeting the standard, and 23.2% going well past it. Most kids here keep up. Fewer get pushed further. Ask the school what it does for a child who already finds the work easy.

Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.

Whole scale-score points above or below what CDE's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores — not a percentage, not a percentile. Statewide a typical school lands near +1 with a spread of about 13 points either side, so read a figure against its group's own typical value, not against zero. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a growth score — published by CDE, held back from the narrative sections above because at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own. “Not categorised” is CDE assigning no band — English Only, Recently Reclassified, and English Learners Only receive a value and no band, for every school in the state. It is not a missing number. Most figures blend two consecutive years, so adjacent published years share input data and no trend line can honestly be drawn across them. A group absent from this table had fewer than 11 students with a growth score and was never published. Grades 4-8 only. None of this enters the Scope Score — it is more strongly correlated with school demographics than our own growth measure, and one published year is not enough to test its reliability.
