Most rating sites would stop at “73% proficient” and call it done. Red Bank deserves a closer read. The school sits in Clovis, where one in three students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 48.1% of students scored in the top band on the state test. The California average is 21.6%.

The honest read: the share exceeding falls 2.7pp across grades; the floor rises 8.8pp. The state average rises 4.5pp over the same span. A strong 3rd grader at Red Bank doesn't typically widen their lead by 5th grade. One question worth asking on a tour: are the strongest students being pushed, or coasting? A school visit and conversation with teachers will tell you more than this number.

Frequently asked questions

Is Red Bank Elementary a good elementary school?
Red Bank Elementary has a Scope Score of 72 out of 100, placing it in the 92nd percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #398 statewide. 48.1% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 26.5 percentage points above the California average of 21.6%. 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 Red Bank Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 73.4% of students at Red Bank Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 48.1% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 25.3% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 48.1% 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. 696 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Red Bank Elementary rank in California?
Red Bank Elementary ranks #398 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 92nd 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 Red Bank Elementary getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Red Bank Elementary decreases by 3.9 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 Red Bank Elementary?
8.7% of students at Red Bank Elementary are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 18.1%. The suspension rate is 1.7%, 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 Red Bank Elementary compare to other schools in Clovis?
Red Bank Elementary scores 72/100 (92nd 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 788 students.

Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
