Rocklin Academy scores 73 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 93rd 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 “73% proficient” and call it done. Rocklin Academy deserves a closer read. It sits at the 93rd percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.
The headline number: 45.6% of students scored in the top band on the state test. The California average is 21.3%.
As a charter, Rocklin Academy enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

Frequently asked questions
Is Rocklin Academy a good elementary school?
Rocklin Academy has a Scope Score of 73 out of 100, placing it in the 93rd percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #384 statewide. 45.6% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 24.3 percentage points above the California average of 21.3%. 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 Rocklin Academy's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 73.0% of students at Rocklin Academy met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 45.6% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 27.4% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 45.6% 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. 490 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Rocklin Academy rank in California?
Rocklin Academy ranks #384 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 93rd 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 Rocklin Academy getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Rocklin Academy increases by 4.3 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth. This upward trajectory suggests the school is adding measurable value — students leave with higher proficiency rates than they entered with. 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 Rocklin Academy?
2.3% of students at Rocklin Academy are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 0.3%, 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 Rocklin Academy compare to other schools in Rocklin?
Rocklin Academy scores 73/100 (93rd 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 556 students.

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