Summary

Capri Elementary is a well-regarded K-6 public school serving 613 students in the high-performing Encinitas Union Elementary school district, consistently ranking in the top 15% of all California elementary schools.

Academically, Capri's students perform well above state averages in English and Math, and the school shows particular strength in supporting English Language Learners and students with special needs. However, within its exceptional district where many schools are top-ranked, Capri's scores place it in the middle among peers; it outperforms schools like Ocean Knoll Elementary and Paul Ecke-Central Elementary, but trails higher-achieving schools such as El Camino Creek Elementary and La Costa Heights Elementary.
