Summary

San Cayetano Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 514 students in the Fillmore Unified School District, which faces academic challenges across the region.

The school is currently ranked in the bottom 11% of all California elementary schools, a performance level that is notably lower than other elementary schools within its own district, such as Piru Elementary and Rio Vista Elementary. Student proficiency in English and Math is significantly below these nearby schools, and chronic absenteeism, while improved from pandemic highs, remains a concern at 21.1%. This is an important factor because regular attendance is closely tied to academic success.

Interestingly, San Cayetano spends more per student and has a smaller average class size than its district peers, yet these advantages have not translated to stronger academic outcomes. Performance has declined over the past decade, with particular struggles in upper-grade mathematics. When compared to schools in neighboring districts like Moorpark Unified, the performance gap is even wider, highlighting that while the school serves a community with significant economic need, other schools with similar student populations, such as Flory Academy of Sciences and Technology, achieve markedly higher rankings.
