Tree of Life International Charter scores 44 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 60th 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 “47% proficient” and call it done. Tree of Life International Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in Anderson, 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, Tree of Life International Charter 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 Tree of Life International Charter's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 46.6% of students at Tree of Life International Charter met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 23.6% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 23.0% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 23.6% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number.

How does Tree of Life International Charter rank in California?
Tree of Life International Charter ranks #2,322 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 60th 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 Tree of Life International Charter getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Tree of Life International Charter decreases by 7.3 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 Tree of Life International Charter?

SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
