Summary

Cappy Culver Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 220 students in the San Miguel Joint Union district in Paso Robles, ranking in the top third of all California schools.

The school has shown impressive improvement and excels in key areas, particularly in mathematics where its proficiency rate exceeds both the district and state averages. It stands out for its strong performance with students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, outperforming many nearby schools with similar demographics like Lillian Larsen Elementary and Winifred Pifer Elementary. Furthermore, the school has made dramatic progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism over the last few years.

When comparing to neighbors, Kermit King Elementary in the Paso Robles Joint Unified district is a similarly high-performing school, though Cappy Culver maintains a lower student-teacher ratio.
