Summary:
The Los Olivos Elementary area has one listed school, Los Olivos Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 8 and enrolling 159 students. With only one school, there is no local school-to-school comparison; the clearest picture comes from its results by subject and grade, and from comparison with California. In 2025–2026, the school was above the state in all three reported all-grade subjects: by 20 points in ELA, 20 in math, and 14 in science.
The school’s strongest grade-level result was fifth-grade ELA: 86% met the standard, compared with 49% statewide, a 37-point advantage. Fourth-grade math also stood out at 74%, 31 points above the state, and sixth-grade math was 67%, 29 points above. Results were not uniformly strong across grades: fifth-grade math was 36%, about 1 point below the state’s 37%, making it the notable exception to the school’s otherwise above-state all-grade math result. The state suppressed the school’s seventh-grade ELA and math scores, so those results are unknown.
Recent results improved in ELA and math but declined in science: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, school ELA rose 5 points and math 6 points, while science fell 3 points; the school–state advantage widened in ELA and math but narrowed by 7 points in science. SchoolDigger’s ranking history rose from the 74th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 82nd in 2025–2026, after reaching the 84th percentile in between; its current listing reports 5 stars and rank 91 of 968, while the latest statewide history lists 4 stars. Chronic absenteeism was 6% versus 18% statewide in 2025–2026. The school had a 14.8 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and reported that 19% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these are context, not explanations for test results.
