San Cayetano Elementary School up 56 spots statewide this year
Summary:

ZIP code 85648 has three elementary schools: Calabasas School serves PK–8, while Mountain View School and San Cayetano Elementary School serve K–5. Across the three schools, average proficiency is 30% in ELA and 21% in math, compared with state results of 41% and 33%, respectively. The area’s average shortfall is 11 points in ELA and 12 points in math, making ELA the somewhat stronger subject overall; the most important finding is that every school is below the state in both subjects.

San Cayetano Elementary School leads all-grades ELA at 33%, ahead of Mountain View School at 30% and Calabasas School at 27%; the ELA leader is still 8 points below the state. Mountain View and San Cayetano tie in all-grades math at 23%, 7 points above Calabasas, though both are 10 points below the state. Grade-level results add important distinctions: San Cayetano leads grade 5 ELA at 39%, one point above the state, while Mountain View leads reported grade 3 math at 34% and grade 5 science at 24%. San Cayetano’s overall ELA lead is not consistent across grades: it trails Mountain View in grade 3 and both schools in grade 4, then leads in grade 5. Calabasas’s grade 8 ELA is 40%, just 3 points below the state; its grade 8 science result should not be compared directly with the other schools’ grade 5 results.

SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking percentiles show mixed movement, not a shared improvement trend: from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, Calabasas rose from 8 to 10, while Mountain View fell from 26 to 22 and San Cayetano from 23 to 21. Mountain View and San Cayetano are similar in size, with 406 and 395 students, but their strengths differ by grade and subject; Calabasas is larger, with 917 students, and has a broader grade span. Student–teacher ratios are 21.9 at Calabasas, 19 at Mountain View, and 20.4 at San Cayetano. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are not supplied, and the ranking figures describe SchoolDigger standings, not changes in test proficiency.
