Elementary schools are scored on their own scale — never ranked against other levels.

The elementary years

27 points separate Golden Oak Community (55) from Valley View Community Elementary (28) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.

0100
Strong Solid Developing Needs Support district avg state avg

9 elementary schools span 27 points around an average of 39.2.

The strength

Golden Oak Community (55/100) holds the Strong band — 30.5% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 22.3%. 2 schools here meet the stronger cohort-gains threshold. These aggregate comparisons do not track individual children.

The catch

27 points separate the top and bottom elementary schools — the district average won't predict the school in front of you.

What it means for your family

If you're choosing a neighborhood

The 27-point spread means the district average is nearly meaningless for an address decision — the zoned elementary school is the whole decision. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Golden Oak Community at 55/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.

If you already live here

No charters or magnets among the ranked schools here, so the main lever is an intra-district transfer — California districts run them on their own windows and criteria. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, ask the district office for this year's dates.

If your kid is enrolled now

A band is a position, not a prophecy — 2 campuses here rank as Growth Engine, their aggregate cohort-change indices above the published threshold. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.

The strongest-scoring campus:

What this page can't see: whether a campus feels safe and glad at 8 a.m. If a path above looks workable, the next step is a visit.

What does a SchoolScope pattern mean?
Archetypes summarize patterns in publicly reported academic and school-climate measures. They describe reported results, not a school’s quality or a child’s fit. Open the school profile for reporting years, missing measures, and questions to ask. Read how the patterns are defined.
Where do these results come from?
The underlying public data comes from the California Department of Education, including CAASPP reporting for 2024–25. Scope Scores and archetypes are SchoolScope calculations, not official CDE ratings. View CDE data and SchoolScope’s methodology and limitations.
