Progress over time

How have test results changed?

The state’s growth measure316 students · grades 4–8 · 2025
English−8ptsCDE level: Moderate (2 of 5)
Math−6ptsCDE level: Moderate (2 of 5)

What the number means. California predicts each student’s score from that student’s own English and math scores the year before, based on how students with similar scores did across the state. Zero would mean students here scored as predicted. In English they scored 8 points below that prediction, and in math 6 points below it.

The levels. CDE sorts every school’s result into five levels, from Minimal to Exceptional. The bar under each number shows where this school landed.

Two years at once. For most schools, this one included, CDE’s figure blends the two most recent years of growth, so it moves more slowly than a single year’s scores.

Why our growth can differ. The growth in our Scope Score asks a different question. It doesn’t follow individual students: it compares the latest grade 5 scores here with the school’s grade 3 scores two years earlier, and places that change among California schools at the same level. Children who joined or left the school in between count in ours; the state’s counts only students who took California’s test the year before. So the two can point different ways.

Ask: English is lower than in 2015 here (33% to 26%), while across California it went from 41% to 46%. How does the school check what’s working in English?

An inferred path through a middle-school overlap points to Live Oak High. UC records 22 enrollees from Live Oak High for fall 2025. Its AP Course Audit lists 22 authorized AP subjects for 2025 - 2026. Those figures come from dated records — if a child starting here today later attended Live Oak High, that would be around 2036, and 10 years is a long time for a school to hold still, and by the state's 2023 count 75% of Live Oak High's graduates enrolled in college somewhere, UC or not.

Common questions

Is San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy a good elementary school?
San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy is in the 26th percentile (Developing) of California’s regular public and charter elementary schools. Its Scope Score is 26 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In spring 2026, on California's state tests (CAASPP), San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy was well below California in English and math: 26% and 22% met or exceeded the standard in grades 3–5, against 46% and 42% statewide. The 2026 Scope Score combines 6 dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard, met or exceeded the standard, grade 3-to-5 growth, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP Smarter Balanced results, spring 2026, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy's CAASPP test scores?
In spring 2026, 26% of students tested in grades 3–5 met or exceeded the English standard and 22% the math standard; 10% and 5% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 46% and 42% met or exceeded, 24% and 21% exceeded. 185 students were tested in English and 186 in math (CDE CAASPP 2025–26; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).
How does San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy rank in California?
San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy is in the 26th percentile of 5,728 California comprehensive elementary schools (Developing, 2026). San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy ranks #4,192 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. The 2026 Scope Score combines 6 dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard, met or exceeded the standard, grade 3-to-5 growth, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See full methodology.
Is San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy getting better or worse?
SchoolScope compares San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy's grade 3 results in 2024 with its grade 5 results in 2026, using school-level test aggregates. Students are not matched across years, and enrollment changes can affect the comparison. SchoolScope elementary standardized cohort gain: approximately 68th percentile on a calibrated reference scale, not an empirical school rank. This score compares school-level grade groups across ELA and Math, not matched students in California's separate growth model. It describes an aggregate change; it cannot establish how individual students progressed or what caused it. See full methodology.
What do attendance and suspension records show for San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy?
CDE chronic absence 2025–26: 15.8% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 90 chronically absent of 570 eligible students. CDE suspension 2025–26: 3.1%; 18 unduplicated suspended students of 582 cumulative enrollment. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.
How does San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy compare to other schools in San Martin?
San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy is in the 26th percentile (Developing) of California’s regular public and charter elementary schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same measures side by side: the share of students who met or exceeded the standard, the share who exceeded it, growth, chronic absence and suspensions. The school serves 643 students. Use the schools in San Martin page or the map view to compare nearby elementary schools.
What do reported student-group results show at San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy?
At San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy in San Martin, 21% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) in grades 3–8 scored Proficient or Advanced (formerly Met or Exceeded) in reading and writing in spring 2026, compared with 28% across the district and 37% across California for the same group in the same grades. That is 7 points below the district rate for the same group. Also: low-income students, 15% in math; Hispanic students, 27% in reading and writing. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP, spring 2026. 186 low-income students tested in reading and writing. 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 middle school does San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy feed into?
In the 2015–16 federal attendance-boundary survey, most of San Martin Gwinn Environmental Science Academy's attendance area fell inside the attendance area of Lewis H. Britton Middle. Lewis H. Britton Middle is in the 54th percentile (Solid) of California’s regular public and charter middle schools on its 2026 Scope Score. Boundaries come from the U.S. Department of Education’s School Attendance Boundary Survey, a 2015-16 collection and the most recent national one — they are approximate and may since have changed. A boundary is also not a placement guarantee: magnet, charter, open-enrollment and inter-district transfer options mean students from one school often continue to several different ones. Confirm your address with the district before making an enrollment or housing decision. Data source: NCES School Attendance Boundary Survey, analyzed by SchoolScope.

Current 2025–26 grade results appear above. The 2015–2018 rows were checked against original CDE files; independent re-verification of other stored historical years remains incomplete. The 2015 and 2016 percentages are rounded to whole numbers in the source. “Students with scores” is the rate denominator for that grade, subject and year. A missing result is not zero or a matched cohort.

These are retrospective calculations using earlier test results and current school levels and comparison classes. Each year's rank and percentile use that year's measured school group. They do not form a trend across different score models.

Historical ELPAC inputs are absent from these calculations. Missing factor weights are redistributed proportionally among available factors. Adjusted climate values are SchoolScope scoring inputs, distinct from the state’s reported rates.

CDE reported all-students (TA) school rates for 2025 and 2026; the change is 2026 minus 2025 in percentage points.

Each year names its school year end (2026 = 2025–26). “Students with scores” is the subject-specific rate denominator; ELA and Math counts must not be added. The 2015–2018 rows were checked against CDE’s original research files. The 2015 and 2016 files report whole percentages; later rows round to one decimal here. Older stored rows from other years still need independent original-file re-verification. A dash is unavailable, not zero. Before spring 2026, Advanced was reported as Exceeded and proficient or advanced as met or exceeded.

The Absent and Susp columns are SchoolScope model-adjusted scoring inputs, rather than raw CDE-reported school rates.

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.

What we can't show
  • — Scored here as an elementary school — other grade spans appear in the data appendix.
  • — Students classified as socioeconomically disadvantaged here trail the state average for their group by 16 points in ELA in grades 3–8 — worth asking how the school is closing that gap.

CDE reports scale-score points versus its growth-model prediction — not a percentage or percentile. The table keeps the group records SchoolScope imported for this school, including rows below our narrative display threshold. “Not categorised” means this imported CDE row has a growth value without a performance category. Long-Term English Learner counts cover grades 6-8 only (CDE), so that row is not comparable to the All Students row. CDE labels at least one imported estimate here WEIGHTED; that describes its aggregation method, not a year-over-year trend. A group absent from this table has no imported record shown here. Its absence alone does not establish its size or performance. CDE growth covers grades 4–8. SchoolScope does not use these CDE figures in its Scope Score.

Source notes. CDE reports scale-score points versus its prediction for matched students, never a percentage. Among SchoolScope's retained California elementary school records, the median ELA estimate is +2 and the middle half fall between −5 and +9 scale-score points — the spread is wide, so read its position among reported schools, not the sign. CDE's 2025 Dashboard weighted school estimate uses assessments from 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25; adjacent reporting editions should not be read as independent annual changes. The CDE measure covers grades 4–8 and is not part of the Scope Score.

How the California mean was selected

SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.

Selected General Fund operating costs · FY 2024–25 · SchoolScope calculation
Instruction 61%Instruction support 10%Student services 13%Administration 6%Buildings & maintenance 10%Other 1%

SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
