Oak Meadow Elementary scores 70 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 91st percentile of 5,230 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 “75% proficient” and call it done. Oak Meadow deserves a closer read. It sits at the 91st percentile of 5,230 California elementary schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.
The headline number: 6.0% chronic absenteeism — versus 18.1% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.

What are Oak Meadow Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 74.8% of students at Oak Meadow Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 43.0% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 31.8% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 43.0% 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. 434 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Oak Meadow Elementary rank in California?
Oak Meadow Elementary ranks #491 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 91st 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 Oak Meadow Elementary getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Oak Meadow Elementary decreases by 4.9 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 Oak Meadow Elementary?

SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
