STREAM Charter scores 53 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 73rd percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Most rating sites would stop at “46% proficient” and call it done. STREAM Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in Oroville, where more than half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

As a charter, STREAM Charter enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

Frequently asked questions

Is STREAM Charter a good elementary school?
STREAM Charter has a Scope Score of 53 out of 100, placing it in the 73rd percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #1,570 statewide. 19.7% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is near 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 STREAM Charter's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 45.6% of students at STREAM Charter met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 19.7% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 25.9% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 19.7% 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. 345 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does STREAM Charter rank in California?
STREAM Charter ranks #1,570 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 73rd 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 STREAM Charter getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at STREAM Charter decreases by 5.5 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.
What is the attendance and school culture like at STREAM Charter?
14.2% of students at STREAM Charter are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 0.7%, 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 STREAM Charter compare to other schools in Oroville?
STREAM Charter scores 53/100 (73rd 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 515 students. Use the schools in Oroville page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does STREAM Charter serve low-income and underrepresented students?

Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 180 students tested. 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.
