Most rating sites would stop at “35% proficient” and call it done. Redwood deserves a closer read. The school sits in Napa, where three in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

What are Redwood Middle's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 35.2% of students at Redwood Middle met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 13.4% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 21.8% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 13.4% 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. 1,663 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Redwood Middle rank in California?
Redwood Middle ranks #1,653 among California middle schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 26th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 6 to grade 8 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 Redwood Middle getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Redwood Middle decreases by 5.2 percentage points from Grade 6 to grade 8 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 middle 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 Redwood Middle?

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