San Cayetano Elementary

Fillmore is a small agricultural city tucked into the Santa Clara River valley between Ventura and the Los Padres National Forest, with a tight-knit, working-class community that takes pride in its hometown roots. San Cayetano Elementary serves this community as a neighborhood school where families tend to be deeply connected to the area, but like much of Fillmore Unified, it faces real academic challenges — test scores in English, math, and science all fall in the lower fifth percentile-wise compared to schools statewide. Families who are weighing their options here may want to take a close look at the support resources available and how the school is trending over time, as the surrounding district context plays a significant role in what students experience day to day.
