Public Grades K-8

Summary

Templeton Home is a very small public K-8 school of just 54 students in the Templeton Unified school district, offering an intimate learning environment with a student-teacher ratio of 18 to 1.

This school stands out for its exceptionally strong student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.5%, which is far better than the district average and dramatically lower than nearby schools like Vineyard Elementary (12.0%) and Almond Acres Charter Academy (23.2%). However, its academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science generally below both the district and state averages. Notably, 8th-grade math proficiency is very low at 7.14%, and science scores have shown significant volatility from year to year.

Despite higher per-student spending than many comparison schools, Templeton Home's academic results lag behind other schools in the area, such as the higher-performing Monterey Road Elementary. The school's very small size appears to foster excellent attendance and personal attention but may also present challenges in curriculum breadth, particularly for middle school grades. Parents may value the close-knit environment but should be aware of the academic performance trends, especially in upper-grade math and science.
