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

Climbed from the 8th to the 46th percentile since 2019 — past roughly 1900 elementary schools.

Most rating sites would stop at “26% proficient” and call it done. Marina Vista deserves a closer read. Four in five of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: +5.8pp separates this year's grade 3 from its grade 5. The state average rises 4.6pp over the same span. Following the school's returning cohort from 2023 G3 → 2025 G5 points the same way.

293 tested · 3 of 3 grades published · cohort of 65 tracked

Marina Vista Elementary scores 34 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 46th percentile of 5,721 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

The pandemic drop is behind this school: 26% of students meet the standard today, above the 18% who did in 2019.

California’s growth results and student groups
State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25

Our growth read and California's own model disagree here — the 92nd percentile against the state's 72nd.

Context — never part of the Scope Score

California runs its own growth model, following individual children in grades 4 through 8 rather than comparing school-wide averages the way we do — and here the two measures disagree. Ours puts this school around the 92nd percentile of California elementary schools; the state's puts it around the 72nd in reading and math together — a harder read than ours. We are not going to pretend one of those is the answer. Neither measure sees an individual child's classroom, and a disagreement this size is worth asking the principal about directly.

— 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.

— 2 more groups are reported here with between 11 and 29 students. We hold those back on purpose: at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own, and a quarter of such groups land past the state's top or bottom cut point by chance alone. They are listed with their student counts in the data appendix. — A group not listed at all had fewer than 11 students with a growth score, so California published nothing for it here. That is a privacy protection, not a judgment about those students. — Context only. None of this enters the Scope Score.

Those numbers describe past cohorts — a child starting here today would reach Marina High around 2035, and 10 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 71% of Marina High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.

Worth a school visit

Ask what changed — new curriculum, new principal, new program. Momentum has a cause, and a visit will find it.

  • Ask how teachers track each child's growth over the year, not just where the class lands on test day.
  • 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 Marina Vista Elementary a good elementary school?
Marina Vista Elementary has a Scope Score of 34 out of 100, placing it in the 46th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #3,106 statewide. 9.0% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 12.3 percentage points below 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 Marina Vista Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 25.6% of students at Marina Vista Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 9.0% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 16.6% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 9.0% 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. 426 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Marina Vista Elementary rank in California?
Marina Vista Elementary ranks #3,106 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 46th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), same-cohort growth (2023 G3 → 2025 G5), 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 Marina Vista Elementary getting better or worse?
SchoolScope follows the same cohort of students across grades rather than comparing two different grades in the same year. At Marina Vista Elementary that cohort is 2023 G3 → 2025 G5, measured in SBAC scale-score points. Its gain ranks strong among California elementary schools — roughly the 92nd percentile, ahead of the typical school at this level. Read the ranking, not the raw point gain: scale scores rise with age, so nearly every school posts a positive number and only the relative position tells you anything. Growth is weighted at 20% in the elementary Scope Score because it is the least demographically confounded signal available — it tracks change over time rather than the level students arrived at. See full methodology.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Marina Vista Elementary?
20.1% of students at Marina Vista Elementary are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to 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 Marina Vista Elementary compare to other schools in Marina?
Marina Vista Elementary scores 34/100 (46th 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 466 students. Use the schools in Marina page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does Marina Vista Elementary serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Marina Vista Elementary in Marina, 25.1% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 34.7% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Marina Vista Elementary trails its district average for low-income students by 9.6 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (18.3% Math proficient); Hispanic students (25.3% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 27.2 percentage points for english learner students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 251 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 Marina Vista Elementary feed into?
By attendance boundary, Marina Vista Elementary is zoned to Los Arboles Middle. 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.

What the score weighs · CAASPP 2024–25

Growth carries this score — its returning cohort's growth from grade 3 to grade 5. The test levels sit just under the state's.

The school's returning cohort — mostly, not exactly, the same kids two years on — gained 88 scale-score points across the span. Almost every school gains points, so we rank the gain against every other California school in this level.

A closer look at the evidence

Marina Vista Elementary: reading the evidence

Marina Vista still trails on raw proficiency — and it's climbing faster than most schools anywhere near it — and that holds when you follow the school's own returning cohort across grades.

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

Ask how many years the improvement has held, not just the latest one — one strong cohort and a real turnaround can look identical in a single year of data.

We show the grade rows CDE publishes for this school. A missing grade or dash can mean the school does not serve that grade, that we hold no valid result for it, or that the tested group was too small to report. It does not mean zero.

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.

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.
