Summary

Cappy Culver Elementary serves 220 students in grades K–8 in Paso Robles, in the San Miguel Joint Union district. In 2025–2026, 42% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 37% in math and 23% in science. The clearest takeaway is that math is a relative strength, while science is the biggest academic concern: Cappy’s science proficiency was 13 percentage points below the state rate.

Cappy’s all-grades results were higher than its district’s in all three subjects. Compared with the state, it was closest in math: its 37% proficiency was about 1 point below the state and 6 points above the district. Cappy ranked second in math among 10 nearby schools with results, 11 points above their average and behind only Kermit King Elementary. ELA was 2 points above the nearby-school average, while science was 8 points below the average for nearby schools with reportable results, though still above the district. Results also vary by grade: fourth-grade math reached 63%, higher than all seven nearby schools with results, while fifth-grade math was 19% and third- and fourth-grade ELA were each 30%.

Recent results are mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 6 points, math gained 5 points overall but fell 10 points in the latest year, and science declined 9 points. Chronic absenteeism improved from 45% in 2021–2022 to 17% in 2025–2026, but remained 2 points above the district rate. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 69th percentile and 3 stars in 2024–2025 to the 46th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026. Its ranking for “White Students” was at the 18th percentile, 28 points below the overall ranking, indicating a notably weaker result for that group by this measure. Cappy’s student–teacher ratio was 22.1:1, close to the nearby-school average of 22.9:1. In 2024–2025, 48% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch, below the nearby-school average of 58%; these figures provide context, not an explanation for test results.
