Round Valley Elementary: The scores are below where anyone wants them. Here's what they don't tell you.

Round Valley Elementary has a Scope Score of 12 out of 100, placing it in the 0th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #5,728 statewide. 3.7% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 17.6 percentage points below 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.

On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 11.9% of students at Round Valley Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 3.7% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 8.2% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 3.7% 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. 155 student-subject combinations were assessed.

Round Valley Elementary ranks #5,728 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 0th 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.

Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Round Valley Elementary decreases by 12.5 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.

33.9% of students at Round Valley Elementary are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 9.1%. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
