Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025

Has held the 90th-percentile line every tested year since 2019.

Most rating sites would stop at “76% proficient” and call it done. O. N. Hirsch deserves a closer read. One in three of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

O. N. Hirsch's low-income kids hit 53.2% 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.

O. N. Hirsch Elementary scores 64 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 90th percentile of 5,721 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Proficiency here is back to its pre-pandemic level — 76% meet the standard, about where the school stood in 2019.

State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25

California's own growth model splits here — the 57th percentile in reading against the 84th in math, among elementary schools.

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 its two subjects part company here. It puts this school around the 57th percentile of California elementary schools in reading and the 84th in math; ours, which blends the subjects, lands around the 36th. A gap that size between math and reading in one building is worth asking about directly — one year of data can't tell you whether it is the teaching, the cohort, or noise.

— 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.

California follows these children individually and predicts each one's score from their own prior year. Each row is read against the same group at a typical California elementary school — not against zero, and not against this school's all-students figure, because the state's expectation already differs by group.

— 3 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.

The road from this school ends at Irvington High, which sent 172 graduates to UC campuses last fall and teaches 21 AP subjects. Those numbers describe past cohorts — a child starting here today would reach Irvington High around 2035, and 10 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 88% of Irvington High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.

Plan your next step

What should I do next?

Worth a school visit

  • 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 O. N. Hirsch Elementary a good elementary school?
O. N. Hirsch Elementary has a Scope Score of 64 out of 100, placing it in the 90th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #582 statewide. 54.3% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 33.0 percentage points above 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 O. N. Hirsch Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 76.4% of students at O. N. Hirsch Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 54.3% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 22.1% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 54.3% 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. 507 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does O. N. Hirsch Elementary rank in California?
O. N. Hirsch Elementary ranks #582 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 90th 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 O. N. Hirsch 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 O. N. Hirsch Elementary that cohort is 2023 G3 → 2025 G5, measured in SBAC scale-score points. Its gain ranks weak among California elementary schools — roughly the 36th percentile, behind 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 O. N. Hirsch Elementary?
9.0% of students at O. N. Hirsch 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 1.3%, 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 O. N. Hirsch Elementary compare to other schools in Fremont?
O. N. Hirsch Elementary scores 64/100 (90th 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 441 students. Use the schools in Fremont page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does O. N. Hirsch Elementary serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At O. N. Hirsch Elementary in Fremont, 53.2% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 48.4% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. O. N. Hirsch Elementary outperforms its district average for low-income students by 4.7 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (57.5% Math proficient); Asian students (84.6% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 38.6 percentage points for english learner students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 79 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 O. N. Hirsch Elementary feed into?
By attendance boundary, O. N. Hirsch Elementary is zoned to John M. Horner Middle. John M. Horner Middle has a Scope Score of 77 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

O. N. Hirsch Elementary: reading the evidence

O. N. Hirsch is one of the strongest elementary schools in Fremont by raw achievement. The catch worth understanding: the cohort doesn't gain ground year-over-year.

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

Ask what the school does for a kid who's already meeting the standard with room to spare — steady proficiency across the board doesn't tell you whether the strongest kids are being pushed further.

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.
