MethodSchools scores 27 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 16th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “35% proficient” and call it done. MethodSchools deserves a closer read. It sits at the 16th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.
Test scores are one lens, and at this school they're a rough one right now. The sections below show the fuller picture — including the parts that are working.
As a charter, MethodSchools enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

Frequently asked questions
Is MethodSchools a good elementary school?
MethodSchools has a Scope Score of 27 out of 100, placing it in the 16th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #4,839 statewide. 9.6% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 11.8 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 MethodSchools's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 34.7% of students at MethodSchools met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 9.6% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 25.1% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 9.6% 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. 62 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does MethodSchools rank in California?
MethodSchools ranks #4,839 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 16th 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 MethodSchools?
16.2% of students at MethodSchools are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 0.5%, 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 MethodSchools compare to other schools in Temecula?
MethodSchools scores 27/100 (16th 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. Use the schools in Temecula page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does MethodSchools serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At MethodSchools in Temecula, 38.5% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 21.3% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. MethodSchools outperforms its district average for low-income students by 17.2 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (41.3% Math proficient); Hispanic students (41.5% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 13.8 percentage points for disabilities students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 109 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.
