Rosewood Avenue Elementary scores 47 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 62nd percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

🌱 Building Momentum — This label means the data doesn't clearly sort the school one way or the other — ask what the school is proud of, and what it's working on.

Most rating sites would stop at “54% proficient” and call it done. Rosewood Avenue deserves a closer read. The school sits in Los Angeles, where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Rosewood Avenue's low-income kids hit 54.3% 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.

Worth a school visit

Ask how the school challenges kids who clear the standard early. The gap between meeting and exceeding is where pacing shows.

  • Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside it.
  • Ask what changes between grade 3 and grade 5 here, and who teaches the older kids.
  • 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.

What are Rosewood Avenue Elementary's CAASPP test scores?

On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 54.3% of students at Rosewood Avenue Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 26.9% exceeded it.

How does Rosewood Avenue Elementary rank in California?

Rosewood Avenue Elementary ranks #2,166 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 62nd 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 Rosewood Avenue Elementary getting better or worse?

Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Rosewood Avenue Elementary decreases by 21.8 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.
