Summary

El Camino Fundamental High is a 1,226-student grades 9–12 school in Sacramento, in San Juan Unified. Its latest results show a clear split by subject: English and science are above state averages, while math is far below them. The most important takeaway for families is that math is the school’s clearest academic concern, despite stronger results in its other tested subjects.

Compared with the state and district, El Camino is strongest in science and English language arts (ELA): in 2025–2026, about 40% met the science standard and 52% met the ELA standard, versus 36% and 49% statewide. The district averages were 31% in science and 40% in ELA. Math is a different picture: 16% met the standard, compared with 38% statewide and 29% in the district. Among nearby San Juan Unified schools, only Mira Loma High scored higher in ELA and science; both Mira Loma and Rio Americano High were ahead in math. Completion figures are notably strong: the graduation rate was 99%, compared with 88% statewide and 87% in the district, while the dropout rate was 0%.

El Camino’s science results have improved, rising from 27% in 2022–2023 to 40% in 2025–2026, while math fell from 20% to 16%; ELA stayed near 52%. SchoolDigger’s statewide standing also declined, from the 66th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 57th in 2024–2025 and 53rd in 2025–2026, when it received 3 stars. For context, the student-teacher ratio was 22.2 in 2024–2025, and 55% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch that school year. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Asian students was at the 3rd percentile statewide, versus the school’s overall 53rd percentile, and remained at the 3rd percentile for three years. Its ranking for Multi-racial Students was at the 11th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 44th percentile the prior year.
