Summary:
Zip code 93015 in Fillmore, California, contains one elementary school, Mountain Vista, serving grades K-5 with 430 students in the Fillmore Unified district, an area where the vast majority of students qualify for economic assistance programs.
Mountain Vista shows a clear and positive trend, having significantly improved its statewide ranking over the past three years and now outperforming its Fillmore Unified district average in all core subjects. However, the school's test scores still lag behind California state averages, and it faces a significant challenge with chronic student absenteeism, which is higher than both district and state rates.
Key areas for parents to note include the school's high per-student spending and a notable variability in performance between grade levels, with upper-grade math scores being a particular concern. The overall picture is of a school making measurable progress within a challenging local context, where addressing attendance and providing consistent academic support across all grades will be crucial for its continued improvement.
