Manor Elementary: High scores, healthy climate, strong attendance. We looked for a catch — we didn't find one.

Manor posts 50.1% exceeding the standard — versus 21.3% statewide — with climate numbers better than most. That doesn't make it perfect. It makes it worth a visit to find what numbers can't measure.

Most rating sites would stop at “79% proficient” and call it done. Manor deserves a closer read. It sits at the 94th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.

The headline number: 50.1% of students scored in the top band on the state test. The California average is 21.3%.

Frequently asked questions

Is Manor Elementary a good elementary school?

The Scope Score weights six dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard (43%), met or exceeded (22%), grade 3-to-5 growth (15%), chronic absenteeism (10%), ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%), and suspension rate (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Manor Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 78.7% of students at Manor Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 50.1% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 28.6% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 50.1% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it reveals whether a school's curriculum challenges students beyond minimum proficiency or paces toward it. 198 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Manor Elementary rank in California?
Manor Elementary ranks #317 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 94th 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 Manor Elementary getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Manor Elementary decreases by 7.2 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth. This downward pattern doesn't necessarily mean the school is failing — it can reflect cohort differences, demographic shifts, or curriculum changes. A campus visit and conversation with teachers can reveal what the numbers can't. Growth trajectory is weighted at 15% in the elementary Scope Score because it measures what the school does, not just who walks in the door.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Manor Elementary?
10.4% of students at Manor 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 0.6%, 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 Manor Elementary compare to other schools in Fairfax?
Manor Elementary scores 75/100 (94th 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 234 students. Use the schools in Fairfax page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does Manor Elementary serve low-income and underrepresented students?

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.
