Annual results and the full academic record
Is it getting better · CAASPP 2019 to 2025

Climbed from the 58th to the 82nd percentile since 2019 — past roughly 1300 elementary schools.

Most rating sites would stop at “50% proficient” and call it done. Rocketship Discovery Prep deserves a closer read. Two-thirds of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch (California: 64%) — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Rocketship Discovery Prep's low-income kids hit 48.6% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.

As a charter, Rocketship Discovery Prep enrolls by application rather than address. That changes how you get in, but it doesn't change the score.

191 tested · 3 of 3 grades published · cohort of 52 tracked

Rocketship Discovery Prep scores 55 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 82nd percentile of 5,721 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

The pandemic drop is behind this school: 50% of students meet the standard today, above the 45% who did in 2019.

State growth model · CDE growth model 2024–25

Our growth read and California's own model agree — both land near the 99th percentile of elementary schools.

Context — never part of the Scope Score

California runs its own growth model, following individual children in grades 4 through 8 rather than comparing school-wide averages the way we do. The two measures land in the same neighbourhood here — ours puts this school around the 93rd percentile of California elementary schools, the state's around the 99th in reading and math together. Two different methods agreeing is the most you can ask of one year of test data.

pts vs expected is scale-score points above or below what California's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores. It is not a percentage and not a percent of anything. A typical California elementary school lands at +2 in reading, and the middle half of them fall between −5 and +9 — the spread is wide, so read the rank, not the sign. CDE blends two consecutive years into each published figure, so adjacent years share input data and no year-over-year trend can honestly be drawn from them. It covers grades 4-8 only, and it is not part of the Scope Score — we assessed it and left it out: it tracks school demographics roughly three times as strongly as our own growth measure does, and one published year is not enough to test how stable it is.

California follows these children individually and predicts each one's score from their own prior year. Each row is read against the same group at a typical California elementary school — not against zero, and not against this school's all-students figure, because the state's expectation already differs by group.

— 2 more groups are reported here with between 11 and 29 students. We hold those back on purpose: at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own, and a quarter of such groups land past the state's top or bottom cut point by chance alone. They are listed with their student counts in the data appendix. — A group not listed at all had fewer than 11 students with a growth score, so California published nothing for it here. That is a privacy protection, not a judgment about those students. — Context only. None of this enters the Scope Score.

Worth a school visit

  • Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside it.
  • Ask how teachers track each child's growth over the year, not just where the class lands on test day.
  • Ask whether extra support — tutoring, counseling, small groups — reaches kids across income lines, not just the students already ahead.
  • 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.
Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Rocketship Discovery Prep a good elementary school?
Rocketship Discovery Prep has a Scope Score of 55 out of 100, placing it in the 82nd percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #1,031 statewide. 31.5% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 10.1 percentage points above the California average of 21.4%. The Scope Score weights 6 dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard (42%), met or exceeded (proficient) (23%), grade 3-to-5 growth (20%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Rocketship Discovery Prep's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 50.0% of students at Rocketship Discovery Prep met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 31.5% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 18.5% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 31.5% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 384 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Rocketship Discovery Prep rank in California?
Rocketship Discovery Prep ranks #1,031 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 82nd percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), same-cohort growth (2023 G3 → 2025 G5), 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 Rocketship Discovery Prep getting better or worse?
SchoolScope follows the same cohort of students across grades rather than comparing two different grades in the same year. At Rocketship Discovery Prep that cohort is 2023 G3 → 2025 G5, measured in SBAC scale-score points. Its gain ranks strong among California elementary schools — roughly the 93rd percentile, ahead of the typical school at this level. Read the ranking, not the raw point gain: scale scores rise with age, so nearly every school posts a positive number and only the relative position tells you anything. Growth is weighted at 20% in the elementary Scope Score because it is the least demographically confounded signal available — it tracks change over time rather than the level students arrived at. See full methodology.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Rocketship Discovery Prep?
25.3% of students at Rocketship Discovery Prep are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 0.1%, 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 Rocketship Discovery Prep compare to other schools in San Jose?
Rocketship Discovery Prep scores 55/100 (82nd 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 402 students. Use the schools in San Jose page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does Rocketship Discovery Prep serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Rocketship Discovery Prep in San Jose, 48.6% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 12.4% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Rocketship Discovery Prep outperforms its district average for low-income students by 36.2 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (47.3% Math proficient); Hispanic students (46.6% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 20.0 percentage points for english learner students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 144 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.

What the score weighs · CAASPP 2024–25

Growth carries this score — its returning cohort's growth from grade 3 to grade 5. The test levels clear the state's too.

The school's returning cohort — mostly, not exactly, the same kids two years on — gained 91 scale-score points across the span. Almost every school gains points, so we rank the gain against every other California school in this level.

Rocketship Discovery Prep: reading the evidence

Rocketship Discovery Prep's strongest signal is real. Attendance is the number to ask about — and both belong on the same page.

Subject proficiency describes tested students, while graduation describes a graduating cohort. These figures are not successive stages followed by the same students.

Grade gap = this year's grade 3 vs grade 5 result, two different sets of students, not a trend for any one child — it is not the measurement the Scope Score's growth dimension uses. See §01 above and /methodology#verdicts for the school's actual scored (cohort) growth.

Whole scale-score points above or below what CDE's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores — not a percentage, not a percentile. Statewide a typical school lands near +1 with a spread of about 13 points either side, so read a figure against its group's own typical value, not against zero. Muted rows have fewer than 30 students with a growth score — published by CDE, held back from the narrative sections above because at that size the figure swings about 17 points on its own. “Not categorised” is CDE assigning no band — English Only, Recently Reclassified, and English Learners Only receive a value and no band, for every school in the state. It is not a missing number. Most figures blend two consecutive years, so adjacent published years share input data and no trend line can honestly be drawn across them. A group absent from this table had fewer than 11 students with a growth score and was never published. Grades 4-8 only. None of this enters the Scope Score — it is more strongly correlated with school demographics than our own growth measure, and one published year is not enough to test its reliability.
