Summary

Capri Elementary is a K–6 school in Encinitas, California, with 613 students. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were above California’s in English language arts (ELA), math and science, but its results differed sharply by subject: science is a standout, while ELA and math lag the district and most nearby schools.

Science is Capri’s clearest strength: 71% of students were proficient, compared with 62% in the Encinitas Union Elementary district and 36% statewide. Only La Costa Heights Elementary and Olivenhain Pioneer Elementary scored higher among the 10 nearby K–6 schools. ELA and math are weaker: Capri’s rates were 63% and 59%, below district rates of 72% and 67%; it ranked third-lowest in ELA and second-lowest in math among those schools. Third grade is a particular concern. ELA proficiency was 43%, below the 44% state rate and 65% district rate—and below every nearby K–6 school. Third-grade math was 54%, 17 points below the district and lower than every nearby school, though above the 47% state rate.

Capri’s ELA and math results have fallen since 2022–23, by 7 and 8 percentage points, respectively, while science has risen 7 points overall but fluctuated sharply, including a 24-point rebound in 2025–26. SchoolDigger rates Capri at the 82nd statewide percentile with 4 stars, down from the 89th percentile in 2022–23; the district is at the 92nd percentile with 5 stars. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 24.5, and 26% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students was 57, compared with Capri’s overall 82nd percentile, indicating a weaker relative standing for that group. Its English Language Learner Students ranking improved from the 60th percentile in 2018–19 to the 93rd in 2022–23, when its overall ranking was 89th.
