What are Springville Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 32.5% of students at Springville Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 15.8% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 16.6% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 15.8% 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. 219 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Springville Elementary rank in California?
Springville Elementary ranks #3,736 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 35th 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 Springville Elementary getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Springville Elementary decreases by 20.1 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.
