Temecula International Academy scores 53 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 74th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “59% proficient” and call it done. Temecula International Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in Temecula, where one in four students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
As a charter, Temecula International Academy enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

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 Temecula International Academy's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 59.2% of students at Temecula International Academy met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 28.6% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 30.6% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 28.6% 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. 238 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Temecula International Academy rank in California?
Temecula International Academy ranks #1,479 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 74th 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 Temecula International Academy getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Temecula International Academy increases by 22.3 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth. This upward trajectory suggests the school is adding measurable value — students leave with higher proficiency rates than they entered with. 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 Temecula International Academy?

The suspension rate is 0.2%, 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 Temecula International Academy compare to other schools in Temecula?

Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
