Phoenix Charter Academy College View scores 31 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 25th percentile of 5,744 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 “36% proficient” and call it done. Phoenix Charter Academy College View deserves a closer read. The school sits in Redding, where more than half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 63.8% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.
As a charter, Phoenix Charter Academy College View enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Phoenix Charter Academy College View's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 36.2% of students at Phoenix Charter Academy College View met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 12.7% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 23.5% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 12.7% 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. 92 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Phoenix Charter Academy College View rank in California?
Phoenix Charter Academy College View ranks #4,288 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 25th 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 Phoenix Charter Academy College View getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Phoenix Charter Academy College View decreases by 46.0 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 Phoenix Charter Academy College View?

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