Summary

Castaic Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 417 students in the growing community of Castaic, operating as a consistently solid performer within the Castaic Union school district.

The school stands out as a leader in its own district, with academic scores in English and Math that are above both district and state averages, and it has achieved a remarkable success in reducing chronic student absenteeism to just 8.8%. It shows particular strength in serving its Hispanic student population and historically with students from low-income families, though performance in Science is an area noted for potential growth. Compared to its district peers like Northlake Hills Elementary and Live Oak Elementary, Castaic Elementary has higher proficiency rates and the lowest chronic absenteeism.

When looking at schools in neighboring districts, such as the highly-rated West Creek Academy in Saugus Union or Stevenson Ranch Elementary in Newhall, Castaic's academic results are more modest. The school operates with a higher student-teacher ratio than these comparable schools, which may be a factor for parents to consider. Overall, Castaic Elementary provides a stable, above-average education within its community context.
