Summary

San Cayetano Elementary serves 514 students in grades K–5 in Fillmore, within Fillmore Unified. Its 2025–2026 proficiency was 26% in English language arts (ELA), 24% in math and 21% in science. Most importantly, the school remains below California in all three tested subjects, with its largest shortfall in ELA.

Math is the school’s strongest subject in comparison with its district and the state, while ELA is its clearest weakness. Compared with California, San Cayetano was 23 percentage points lower in ELA, 14 lower in math and 15 lower in science. Against Fillmore Unified, it was 5 points lower in ELA, but 5 points higher in math and 2 higher in science. It also trailed the other three Fillmore Unified schools on average by 13 points in ELA, 8 in math and 2 in science; San Cayetano ranked last among them in ELA and math, and third of four in science.

Scores have improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose from 16% to 26%, math from 9% to 24% and science from 12% to 21%, narrowing the school’s gaps with the state. Math did not rise every year, but its latest result was a notable recovery after a dip in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 18th percentile statewide in 2025–2026 (rank 4,763 of 5,804; one star), up from the 3rd percentile in 2022–2023, though still near the bottom of nearby schools with rank data. One notable exception is its relative standing for Special Education Students: SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 45th percentile for this group, compared with its overall 18th percentile, after the group ranking varied from the 55th to the 15th percentile in the prior two years. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 19.5, lower than the other three Fillmore Unified schools compared; 76% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year.
