Oasis Charter Public scores 19 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 3rd percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Most rating sites would stop at “11% proficient” and call it done. Oasis Charter Public deserves a closer read. The school sits in Salinas, where more than half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
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, Oasis Charter Public enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

Frequently asked questions
Is Oasis Charter Public a good elementary school?
Oasis Charter Public has a Scope Score of 19 out of 100, placing it in the 3rd percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #5,559 statewide. 0.7% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 20.6 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 Oasis Charter Public's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 10.6% of students at Oasis Charter Public met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 0.7% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 9.9% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 0.7% 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. 134 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Oasis Charter Public rank in California?
Oasis Charter Public ranks #5,559 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 3rd 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 Oasis Charter Public getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Oasis Charter Public increases by 3.8 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth. This upward trajectory suggests the school is adding measurable value — students leave with higher proficiency rates than they entered with. 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 Oasis Charter Public?
22.6% of students at Oasis Charter Public are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 4.5%. 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 Oasis Charter Public compare to other schools in Salinas?
Oasis Charter Public scores 19/100 (3rd 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 193 students.
