Summary:
This analysis covers three public schools in zip code 93016 (Fillmore, CA), including two elementary schools and one middle school serving grades K-8 within the Fillmore Unified district, which faces significant academic challenges statewide.
Among these schools, Rio Vista Elementary stands out as the strongest performer, with the highest test scores and lowest chronic absenteeism, while Fillmore Middle school shows the most concerning trends, including the lowest rankings and a critical drop in math proficiency. San Cayetano Elementary has shown dramatic recent improvement but still lags in academic performance.
Key takeaways include a notable decline in student performance, especially in math, between elementary and middle school, and the finding that higher per-student spending does not directly correlate with better academic results in this district. All schools perform below state averages, but San Cayetano's rapid improvement and Rio Vista's consistent results offer potential models for addressing district-wide challenges.
