Summary

Cabrillo Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 275 students in the generally high-performing Fremont Unified School District, but it stands out for its significant and persistent academic challenges.

The school's test scores are dramatically lower than both the district average and nearby schools like Patterson Elementary and Oliveira Elementary, with fewer than a quarter of students proficient in core subjects. Its statewide ranking has declined over the past decade to the 16th percentile, a stark contrast to the 88th percentile ranking of its district and the much higher rankings of most surrounding Fremont Unified schools. Cabrillo also serves a student population with a high level of economic need, with over 70% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is more than double the rate of many comparison schools.

Despite these academic struggles, Cabrillo spends more per student than nearby schools and has shown notable improvement in reducing chronic student absenteeism. The school's situation represents one of the largest performance gaps within its district, suggesting it faces unique systemic challenges that warrant attention, especially when compared to the success of other schools in the area with similar, though generally less severe, demographic profiles.
