California is CDE’s statewide math row for each grade, counting every student tested there; the comparisons in the chapters combine these rows for their grades, weighted by students tested (our calculation).
A grade the school doesn't teach has no row. “Suppressed” marks a result CDE blanks because fewer than 11 students tested (CDE’s reporting rule); “none tested” marks a grade CDE lists with no students tested; “not on file” marks a result missing from the records we hold. None of them means zero.
Well below California in both subjects. In grades 6–8, spring 2026, 16% scored Proficient or Advanced in English and 14% in math, against 49% and 37% across California. The middle grades are placed separately: 8th percentile (Needs Support) among California’s middle schools.

How does math compare with English?
In grades 3–5, spring 2026, math trails English by 12 percentage points in the share who scored Proficient or Advanced, against 4 points across California. The grades 3–5 cards above give each subject’s share.
Have results changed?
Results in both subjects were higher than in 2025. English went from 19% to 26% and math from 9% to 14%.
Did students here score above what the state expected?
In English, about as expected; in math, yes. California sets an expected score for each student from that student’s own score the year before. In 2025, students here in grades 4–8 scored −2 points against that expected score in English, which the state calls Average. In math, they scored +10 points, which it calls Accelerated.

How the state’s growth measure worksPoints above or below what the state expected from the same students’ earlier scores
California uses each student’s English and math scores from the year before to set an expected score, based on how students with similar earlier scores did across the state. Zero would mean students here scored as expected. In English they scored 2 points below that expected score, and in math 10 points above it.
The state sorts every school’s growth result into five growth levels, from Minimal to Exceptional.
Here, as at most schools, the state’s figure blends the two most recent years, so it moves more slowly than one year’s scores.
What you can do
Who can act on Pauma Elementary’s results?
Valley Center-Pauma Unified’s board decides Pauma Elementary’s plan.
The state hasn’t placed Pauma Elementary in a support program. Federal designation under the Every Student Succeeds Act, 2025–26. Source ↗
What has the state flagged?
The state is giving Valley Center-Pauma Unified extra help in 2026. It qualified on the 2025 California School Dashboard. The county office must help the district for at least three years, including a review of its yearly plan.
Extra help for Valley Center-Pauma Unified: CDE’s assistance status file for the 2025 California School Dashboard. Source ↗
When is the plan set, and how can you take part?
Valley Center-Pauma Unified’s board must adopt its yearly plan (LCAP) by July 1, after at least one public hearing at an earlier meeting.
How to take part
Watch the board’s agenda: the hearing is posted at least 72 hours ahead.
Send written comments on the actions and spending the plan proposes.
Raise questions through the district’s parent advisory committee; the superintendent must answer its comments in writing.
Reading screening in kindergarten through grade 2What the law requires, and what to ask
California law requires schools to screen kindergartners through second graders for reading difficulties every year, with some exceptions. You get notice at least 15 days before, results within 45 days, and can opt out in writing.
Kindergartners can’t be screened before the 91st school day; transitional kindergarten isn’t covered.
If screening shows your child may be at risk for reading difficulties, the school must provide supports. That result isn’t a diagnosis, and screening can’t be used to delay a special-education evaluation.
Ask how many K–2 students screening found at risk last year, and how many got extra reading help.
How often do students miss school or get suspended?
33 in 100 students were chronically absent in 2025–26.
State attendance and suspension records, 2025–26
That means they missed 10% or more of school days. At the average Valley Center-Pauma Unified elementary school, 28 in 100 were. 0.8% of students were suspended at least once in 2025–26, against 1.6% at the average California elementary school.

An inferred path through a middle-school overlap points to Valley Center High. UC records 15 enrollees from Valley Center High for fall 2025. The AP Course Audit lists 16 AP courses its teachers are authorized to teach in 2025–26. Those figures come from dated records. If a child starting here today later attended Valley Center High, that would be around 2036, and a school can change a lot in 10 years. By the state’s 2023 count, 56% of the students who finished high school at Valley Center High enrolled in college within 12 months, UC or not.

Chronic absence and suspension are CDE's all-students school rates; the score uses an adjusted version of each that pulls small schools toward the average, so their index can sit nearer 50 than the rate suggests. The weights above add to 80%: the remaining 20%, for measures with no value here, is shared out among the measures above.

Chronic absence and suspension are CDE’s all-students school rates for each year.
Grade gap: the same year’s grade 3 and grade 5 results, side by side. They are different children, so the gap describes one year, not any child’s progress. The Scope Score’s growth measure is a different comparison, shown in Score factors above (how it’s built).

CDE reports scale-score points against the state’s expected score — not a percentage or percentile. The table keeps the group records SchoolScope imported for this school, including rows below our narrative display threshold. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a valid growth score. SchoolScope uses that threshold for the shorter narrative view; the reported values stay visible here. “Not categorized” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. At least one estimate here is a CDE weighted estimate; that describes how CDE combines years, not a year-over-year trend. A group absent from this table has no imported record shown here. Its absence alone does not establish its size or performance. CDE growth covers grades 4–8. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points against the state’s expected score for matched students, never a percentage. Among SchoolScope's retained California elementary school records, the median English estimate is +2 and the middle half fall between −5 and +9 scale-score points — the spread is wide, so read the figure against it, not its sign alone. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes. The CDE measure covers grades 4–8, and it is not part of the Scope Score.

How the California mean was selected
SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.
Selected General Fund operating costs · FY 2024–25 · SchoolScope calculation
These shares are our arithmetic: each group’s dollars divided by the $64,282,614 total of the groups shown, rounded to whole percents by largest remainder so they add up to 100. Dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar, so they can differ from the total by a dollar. SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
