Cajon Valley Home runs 20.5:1 students to teachers, above the national average. That often means bigger classes. Ask how the school supports kids who need extra help, and whether there are teaching assistants or small-group time.
69% of students at Cajon Valley Home were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
