Summary

Cajon Valley Home is a K–8 school in El Cajon, California, with 117 students—much smaller than nearby schools, which enroll 315 to 687. The clearest concern is math: 23% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, placing the school third-lowest among itself and 10 nearby schools.

Science is the school’s strongest subject in local comparisons: 39% were proficient, compared with 36% statewide and 24% in the Cajon Valley Union district, ranking fourth among the 11 schools. Math was 15 points below the state’s 38% and nearly matched the district’s 23%. ELA proficiency was 42%, around the middle of the nearby group. Results also differ by grade: eighth-grade ELA reached 57%, above the state’s 49% and district’s 36%, while sixth-grade math was 7%, below the state’s 37% and district’s 20%.

Over time, science improved from 28% in 2022–2023 to 39% in 2025–2026, though it had peaked at 50% the prior year. ELA slipped from 44% to 42%, and math was essentially flat at 23% as state results rose. Chronic absenteeism also fell sharply, from 38% in 2024–2025 to 13% in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 35th statewide percentile with 2 stars. Its student–teacher ratio is 17.2, at least 5.7 lower than any nearby school; 72% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students rose to 40 in 2025–2026, above the school’s overall 35th percentile. Its Female Students percentile fell to 22, 13 points below the overall ranking. Third- and fourth-grade test results are suppressed, so those grades cannot be assessed.
