Summary:

Santa Paula Unified includes 10 schools in Santa Paula, California: six elementary schools serving K–6, one middle school for grades 7–8, two high schools for grades 9–12, and a K–12 independent-studies school. In 2025–26, the average across the elementary schools and the results at both high schools were below state all-grades proficiency figures in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The clearest area-wide concern is that every school’s all-grades results were below the state in all three subjects.

Elementary strengths vary by subject: Grace Thille Elementary led ELA at 47%, McKevett Elementary led math at 41%, and Glen City Elementary led science at 40%. At the other end, Blanchard Elementary had the lowest elementary ELA and science results, at 25% and 7%; Thelma Bedell Elementary had the lowest math result, 21%. Among high schools, Santa Paula High outscored Renaissance High by 17 points in ELA, 14 in math, and 25 in science. Isbell Middle and Santa Paula Unified School District Independent Studies also fell below state figures in all three subjects.

Elementary averages improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 by 2 points in ELA, 4 in math, and 2 in science; the group narrowed its state gap in ELA and math but fell further behind in science. Gains differed by school: Glen City’s science result rose 21 points, while Barbara Webster Elementary gained 11 points in math but dropped 7 in science. For context, the reported 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible measure ranged from 67% at Bedell to 93% at Grace Thille; it does not explain achievement. Glen City had the largest elementary enrollment, 675, and a 22.5 student–teacher ratio, while Barbara Webster’s ratio was 18.0. Santa Paula High’s 97% graduation rate exceeded the state’s 88%, despite below-state proficiency and 21% chronic absenteeism. School settings and grade spans differ, so these figures are not all direct comparisons.
