ranked #3,377 statewide · #381 of 580 in Los Angeles Unified
Rise Kohyang Elementary scores 37 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 41st 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 “35% proficient” and call it done. Rise Kohyang deserves a closer read. The school sits in Los Angeles, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
As a charter, Rise Kohyang enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

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%).

What are Rise Kohyang Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 35.3% of students at Rise Kohyang Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 14.5% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 20.9% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 14.5% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number.

How does Rise Kohyang Elementary rank in California?
Rise Kohyang Elementary ranks #3,377 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 41st 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 Rise Kohyang Elementary getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Rise Kohyang Elementary decreases by 10.8 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.
