Parkview scores 56 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 78th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Most rating sites would stop at “59% proficient” and call it done. Parkview deserves a closer read. The school sits in Placentia, where one in four students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Frequently asked questions

Is Parkview a good elementary school?

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 Parkview's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 59.2% of students at Parkview met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 30.5% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 28.8% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 30.5% 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. 59 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Parkview rank in California?
Parkview ranks #1,257 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 78th 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 Parkview?
15.3% of students at Parkview 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 Parkview compare to other schools in Placentia?
Parkview scores 56/100 (78th 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 259 students.

How does Parkview serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Parkview in Placentia, 66.7% of white students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 74.6% district-wide and 61.8% statewide.

Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 24 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.
