Proctor Terrace Elementary scores 40 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 42nd percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

🌱 Building Momentum — This label means the data doesn't clearly sort the school one way or the other — ask what the school is proud of, and what it's working on.

CDE CAASPP 2025

Most rating sites would stop at “44% proficient” and call it done. Proctor Terrace deserves a closer read. The school sits in Santa Rosa, where two in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The seven-year arc

Percentile among 5,744 elementary schools statewide

Slipped from the 77th to the 42nd percentile since 2019.

This school hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic: 44% meet the standard today, versus 57% in 2019 — a gap worth asking about on a visit.

Worth a school visit

Ask how the school challenges kids who clear the standard early. The gap between meeting and exceeding is where pacing shows.

  • Ask what changes between grade 3 and grade 5 here, and who teaches the older kids.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
  • Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
  • Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
  • Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.

What are Proctor Terrace Elementary's CAASPP test scores?

How does Proctor Terrace Elementary rank in California?

Proctor Terrace Elementary ranks #3,312 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 42nd 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 Proctor Terrace Elementary getting better or worse?

Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Proctor Terrace Elementary decreases by 4.0 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.
