Summary

Rio Vista Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 553 students in the Fillmore Unified district, a community where many families face economic challenges.

Within its district, Rio Vista stands out as the highest-performing elementary school, particularly in mathematics where it significantly outperforms nearby schools like San Cayetano Elementary and Piru Elementary. The school has a major strength in teaching English Language Learners, ranking well above state averages for that group, and has made impressive progress in improving student attendance. It achieves these results while spending less per student than other Fillmore Unified schools.

However, the school faces challenges, including a noticeable drop in math scores by 5th grade and a need for stronger support for students in special education. It's important for parents to know that all schools in the Fillmore Unified district rank in the lower half of the state, creating a different context than higher-performing neighboring districts like Moorpark Unified, where schools such as Walnut Canyon Elementary have significantly higher test scores.
