Most rating sites would stop at “62% proficient” and call it done. Weaverville deserves a closer read. The school sits in Weaverville, where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: +19.5pp proficiency climbs from grade 3 to grade 5 across the school. The state average rises 4.5pp over the same span.

Ask about the discipline philosophy and what a typical suspension is for. Numbers can't tell you whether a campus feels strict or chaotic — a visit can.

What are Weaverville Elementary's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 62.5% of students at Weaverville Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 34.0% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 28.4% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 34.0% 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. 162 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Weaverville Elementary rank in California?
Weaverville Elementary ranks #963 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 82nd 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 Weaverville Elementary getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Weaverville Elementary increases by 19.5 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 Weaverville Elementary?
