Summary

Maie Ellis Elementary serves 560 students in grades K–6 in Fallbrook, California. In 2025–2026, its results were slightly above California’s in English, math, and science, but remained below those of the Fallbrook Union Elementary district—the clearest overall takeaway is that the school has made progress but still has ground to make up with local and district peers.

Compared with the state, Maie Ellis was strongest in math: 42% of students met proficiency, versus 38% statewide; ELA was 51% versus 49%, and science was 36% versus 36%, a slight edge. It trailed the district by 9 points in math, 10 in ELA, and 6 in science. Among five nearby K–6 schools, Maie Ellis had the lowest ELA and math results, while its science result was in the middle. The sharpest grade-level concerns were sixth-grade math, at 27%—10 points below the state and 23 below the district—and third-grade ELA, at 43%, 1 point below the state and 18 below the district. Fourth-grade ELA was a brighter spot: 57%, 12 points above the state and close to the district.

Results have improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose 15 points to 51%, math rose 12 points to 42%, and science rose 21 points to 36%; however, math fell 2 points in the latest year. The school’s SchoolDigger ranking climbed from the 41st percentile and 2 stars to the 62nd percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026, ranking 2,221 of 5,804 California schools. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 22.3, and 76% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism also declined from 34% in 2021–2022 to 10% in 2025–2026, below both district and state rates. One notable subgroup shift: SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves English Language Learner Students rose from the 22nd percentile in 2022–2023 to the 63rd in 2023–2024.
