A grade the school doesn't teach has no row. “Suppressed” marks a result CDE blanks because fewer than 11 students tested (CDE’s reporting rule); “none tested” marks a grade CDE lists with no students tested; “not on file” marks a result missing from the records we hold. None of them means zero.

Each year is a different group of students.
In English, about as expected; in math, yes. California sets an expected score for each student from that student’s own score the year before. In 2025, students here in grade 4 scored +2 points against that expected score in English, which the state calls Average. In math, they scored +30 points, which it calls Exceptional.
Grade 4 · 2025 · 98 students with scores in both years
Points above or below what the state expected from the same students’ earlier scores.
+2 pts
The state calls it Average, the third of its five growth levels.
+30 pts
The state calls it Exceptional, the highest of its five growth levels.
Ask: How do you help children who need more support in reading or math, and those ready for more challenge?

In grades 3 and 4, the share at the state’s top two levels in English went from 39% in 2017 to 68% in 2026. In math, it went from 44% in 2017 to 73% in 2026. Each year is a different group of students.

California uses each student’s English and math scores from the year before to set an expected score, based on how students with similar earlier scores did across the state. Zero would mean students here scored as expected. In English they scored 2 points above that expected score, and in math 30 points above it.
The state sorts every school’s growth result into five growth levels, from Minimal to Exceptional.
Here, as at most schools, the state’s figure blends the two most recent years, so it moves more slowly than one year’s scores.

California law requires schools to screen kindergartners through second graders for reading difficulties every year, with some exceptions. You get notice at least 15 days before, results within 45 days, and can opt out in writing.
Kindergartners can’t be screened before the 91st school day; transitional kindergarten isn’t covered.
If screening shows your child may be at risk for reading difficulties, the school must provide supports. That result isn’t a diagnosis, and screening can’t be used to delay a special-education evaluation.
Ask how many K–2 students screening found at risk last year, and how many got extra reading help.

Life at school
16 in 100 students were chronically absent in 2025–26.
State attendance and suspension records, 2025–26
That means they missed 10% or more of school days. 0 of 638 students were suspended at least once in 2025–26.

Ask: When a child starts missing school, who calls the family, and how soon?
Ask current families how the school keeps them informed, and what happened when their child needed help. Ask staff how long teachers tend to stay.
