Raisin City Elementary: The scores are below where anyone wants them. Here's what they don't tell you.
Raisin City posts low test scores — and attendance holds near the state average — families haven't checked out. If this is your zoned school, the numbers below are where to start a conversation, not where to end one.
Raisin City Elementary scores 33 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 “19% proficient” and call it done. Raisin City deserves a closer read. The school sits in Raisin City, where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 9.2% chronic absenteeism — versus 17.9% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.
