Cabrillo Elementary

Cabrillo Elementary sits in the heart of Fremont, a large and diverse East Bay city that blends suburban comfort with a strong tech-industry influence — and this school reflects that diversity in its student body. With scores that fall below the district and state averages, Cabrillo may be a better fit for families who prioritize community connection and are ready to supplement academics at home or through tutoring rather than those seeking a high-performing school environment. Fremont itself offers a lot to love — proximity to BART, the Niles Canyon area, and a genuinely multicultural community — and families who are active in a school's parent community often find they can make a meaningful difference at a school like this one.
