Summary

Cutler Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 607 students in the Cutler-Orosi Joint Unified School District, showing notable recent improvement in its statewide ranking.

The school is on a strong upward trend, making the biggest gains in academic performance compared to nearby schools like Palm Elementary and Golden Valley Elementary. A key driver of this success appears to be a dramatic improvement in student attendance, which is now better than both the district and state averages. Furthermore, Cutler Elementary outperforms its own district in mathematics, a strength not seen at its sister schools.

Despite this progress, the school faces specific challenges, particularly a significant drop in student proficiency in all subjects between fourth and fifth grade, which is more pronounced than at comparison schools. Science scores are also a notable area for growth. The school invests more money per student than neighboring schools, which may be supporting its current improvement trajectory as it works to address these remaining academic gaps.
