Summary

Cabrillo Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 522 students in the Upland Unified School District, consistently rated as a 2-star school that ranks in the middle of all California elementary schools.

The school faces significant academic challenges, particularly in math and science where its proficiency rates are well below both the district and state averages; for example, only about 27% of students are proficient in math, compared to over 56% at nearby Buena Vista Arts-Integrated and over 62% at Magnolia Elementary within the same district. Cabrillo serves a high-need population, with over 85% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, a demographic similar to some nearby schools like Citrus Elementary, yet it has the highest student-teacher ratio (26.5 to 1) among the schools analyzed, and its per-student spending is notably lower than schools in neighboring districts like Ontario-Montclair.

Despite these challenges, Cabrillo has made impressive progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism, cutting the rate from nearly 50% to 18% in recent years, and it shows strengths in serving Hispanic students and students with special education needs. The performance gap with other schools, even those with similar student demographics, suggests there are opportunities for improvement by learning from successful models like the arts-integrated approach at Buena Vista, which excels academically and has an absenteeism rate under 2%.
