Summary:

Four schools in Cutler, California, serve grades K–12 and enroll 687 students combined, from 7 at Cutler-Orosi Community Day to 607 at Cutler Elementary. The clearest concern in the reported high-school results is Lovell High: its 11th graders were proficient at 6% in ELA, 0% in math, and 4% in science, compared with 57%, 32%, and 38% statewide, while 71% of Lovell students were chronically absent versus 18% statewide.

Cutler Elementary stands out among schools with numeric 2025–2026 all-grades results, leading Lovell High by 34 percentage points in ELA, 34 in math, and 18 in science. But Cutler was still below state results in all three subjects: 40% versus 49% in ELA, 34% versus 38% in math, and 21% versus 36% in science. Its 4th-grade ELA was a bright spot, 2 points above the state; other reported grade-level results were below. Cutler Elementary also had the lowest reported chronic absenteeism, at 5%, while Esperanza High was at 30%. Some other schools’ test results are suppressed, and the different grade spans make all-grades comparisons imperfect.

Recent score changes at Cutler Elementary were mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 3 points, math fell 2, and science rose 8. At Lovell High, ELA fell 5 points, math stayed at 0%, and science rose 3.
