Summary

Fulton K-8 is a K–8 school with 310 students in San Diego, part of San Diego Unified. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was 28% in English language arts (ELA), 27% in math, and 17% in science. The most important finding for families is that proficiency was below both the state and district in all three subjects.

Among eight nearby same-district schools with results, Fulton ranked third-lowest in ELA and math and lowest in science. Nearby-school averages were 41% in ELA, 40% in math, and 31% in science—about 13, 13, and 14 percentage points above Fulton. Compared with the state, Fulton was behind by 21 points in ELA, 11 in math, and 19 in science; its gaps to the district were 26, 19, and 25 points. Chronic absenteeism is another concern: Fulton’s 2025–2026 rate was 34%, versus 18% statewide and 17% districtwide, and it was the highest among nearby same-district schools. Its science result was especially low: 17%, compared with 20% at the next-lowest nearby school, Encanto Elementary.

Results over time show mixed progress. Chronic absenteeism fell by 27 percentage points, from 61% in 2021–2022 to 34% in 2025–2026. Since 2022–2023, ELA proficiency has declined by 5 points, while math has been nearly unchanged and science has risen by 2 points; neither math nor science has caught up with the state. SchoolDigger rates Fulton at the 28th percentile statewide with 1 star. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 22.1, matching the nearby-school average, and 90% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025. One more positive sign is SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves Hispanic Students: Fulton ranked at the 51st percentile in 2025–2026, compared with its overall 28th percentile, up from the 13th percentile in 2023–2024. These all-grades comparisons include schools serving different grade spans.
