Frequently asked questions

Is Meadow View a good elementary school?
Meadow View has a Scope Score of 34 out of 100, placing it in the 27th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #4,192 statewide. 12.2% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 9.1 percentage points below the California average of 21.3%. 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 Meadow View's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 34.2% of students at Meadow View met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 12.2% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 22.0% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 12.2% 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. 617 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Meadow View rank in California?
Meadow View ranks #4,192 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 27th 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 Meadow View getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Meadow View decreases by 10.8 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 Meadow View?
21.1% of students at Meadow View are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 3.4%. 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 Meadow View compare to other schools in Susanville?
Meadow View scores 34/100 (27th 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 318 students. Use the schools in Susanville page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does Meadow View serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Meadow View in Susanville, 34.8% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 35.4% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Meadow View trails its district average for low-income students by 0.5 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (26.3% Math proficient); White students (46.3% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 14.5 percentage points for disabilities students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 244 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.
