Summary

El Rincon Elementary serves 565 students in grades K–5 in Culver City, California, as part of Culver City Unified. SchoolDigger gives it four stars and ranks it in the 80th percentile statewide for 2025–2026. The clearest takeaway is that its scores are above California averages in all three tested subjects, but it is around the middle of nearby schools, with science its most pronounced local weakness.

Math is the school’s strongest comparison with the state and district: proficiency was 59%, versus 38% statewide and 56% districtwide. ELA was 67%, above the state’s 49% but just below the district’s 68%; science was 44%, above the state’s 36% but below the district’s 54%. Compared with nearby schools’ averages, El Rincon was about 4 points higher in ELA and 1 point higher in math, but 8 points lower in science. Fourth grade stands out positively: its ELA and math results were the second highest among nearby schools reporting those grades. Fifth grade is a concern, with ELA and math each ranking sixth among nearby schools and below district results; fifth-grade science was also below the district.

Recent trends are mixed: ELA has been essentially flat over four years, while math rose 4 points overall but slipped from its 2024–2025 peak. Science rose earlier, then fell 15 points in the latest year, to 44%; it remains above the state but trails the district. Chronic absenteeism improved from 26% in 2021–2022 to 11% in 2025–2026, slightly above the district’s 10%. Context measures include a 23.5 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, the second highest among nearby schools with reported figures, and 33% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the third-lowest figure among nearby schools with that measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings show a particularly high relative standing for African American Students: the group ranked in the 95th percentile in 2025–2026, versus the school’s overall 80th percentile. Multi-racial Students ranked in the 45th percentile, down from the 54th percentile in 2023–2024.
