Summary:
Cabazon, California, is served by a single public elementary school, Cabazon Elementary, which educates 268 students from kindergarten through 5th grade within the Banning Unified School District.
Cabazon Elementary faces significant challenges, including a very high rate of student economic need and a chronic absenteeism rate of 44.1%, which is more than double the state average. Despite these obstacles and being part of a low-ranking district, the school performs better than the Banning Unified district average in English, math, and science. However, its academic results are below state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined in recent years.
Key areas for attention include the steep drop in math proficiency between 3rd and 5th grade and the critical attendance issue, which research shows is tightly linked to academic success. The school's per-student spending is slightly above the state average. For families in Cabazon, this school is the only public option, highlighting the importance of community support and targeted interventions to address attendance and improve student outcomes across all grade levels.
