Summary:

Zip code 93013 has five schools in Carpinteria Unified: three elementary schools, a middle school and a high school, with 1,861 students from elementary through high-school grades. The schools differ in grade span, so results are most informative when comparing the same grade. The strongest contrast is between standout fourth-grade results at Carpinteria Family and persistent state-score gaps at Carpinteria Senior High.

Carpinteria Family stands out in the reported results: its 2025–2026 all-grades proficiency was 70% in ELA and 45% in math, and its fourth graders were 77% in ELA and 54% in math—32 and 11 points above state results. Among the larger elementary schools, Canalino Elementary had the strongest all-grades ELA and math results, at 51% and 46%; its fourth graders also topped the state in both subjects. The clearest concern is Carpinteria Senior High: 11th-grade proficiency was 41% in ELA, 23% in math and 20% in science, respectively 16, 9 and 18 points below state results. Science is a broader weakness: all four schools with reported all-grades results were below the state’s 36%.

Recent results moved in different directions: the five-school all-grades average fell from 51% to 49% in ELA and from 42% to 37% in math between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, while Canalino Elementary and Aliso Elementary improved in math by 1 and 3 points. SchoolDigger placed Canalino at the 62nd percentile in 2025–2026, compared with 48 for Aliso, 47 for Carpinteria Middle and 38 for Senior High; Middle’s ranking fell 16 percentile points over three years. Student-teacher ratios ranged from 16.8 at Middle to 22.5 at Family. For 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 36% at Family to 79% at Aliso; these figures are context, not an explanation for score differences.
