Fillmore Elementary School's strong academic performance is even more impressive given its relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.24% to 52.63% over the past few years. The school also has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10 to 12.2 students per teacher over the past few years.
