Summary

Fillmore Middle is a public school in Fillmore, California, serving 813 students in grades 6–8 in an area with several nearby middle schools. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 24% in English language arts (ELA), 13% in math and 16% in science. Compared with nearby schools serving the same grades, Fillmore was behind their averages by 33 points in ELA, 31 points in math and 27 points in science—the clearest concern for families.

Science is Fillmore’s strongest subject relative to the other comparisons, though its results remain below every benchmark. Its 16% science proficiency was 20 points below California’s 36%, 3 points below Fillmore Unified’s 19% and 27 points below the nearby-school average of 43%. ELA was the weakest result compared with the district and nearby schools: 24% proficient, versus 31% districtwide and a 57% nearby average. Math was 13%, versus 19% in the district and a 43% nearby average; its 26-point gap with the state was the largest of the three subjects.

Over the four years from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 3 percentage points overall, math fell 2 points and science rose 4 points. The state gap in ELA was nearly unchanged, while it widened by 5 points in math and 2 points in science. SchoolDigger ranked Fillmore 2,433rd of 2,703 California schools, at the 10th percentile, and gave it 1 star for 2025–26. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 21.4, close to the nearby-school median of 22.2. In 2024–25, 75% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the second-highest share among nearby schools with comparable figures. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result was the statewide effectiveness ranking for homeless students: it reached the 79th percentile in 2022–23, compared with the school’s overall 15th percentile that year, after being at the 12th percentile the prior year; the rankings do not explain why they changed.
