Summary:

Ojai Unified includes 7 schools: 3 elementary, 1 middle, 2 high, and 1 alternative school, including an early-education school. Among the five schools with 2025–2026 all-grades test results, their unweighted average proficiency was 44% in ELA, 24% in math, and 28% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The most important shared finding is that math is furthest below the state level, by 14 percentage points on average.

Nordhoff High led the 2025–2026 results in all three subjects: 73% in ELA, 29% in math, and 44% in science. Its ELA result was 28 points above the next-highest school, and its science result was 11 points higher; its math lead over Topa Topa Elementary was less than a point (28.9% versus 28.5%). At the other end, Summit was lowest in all three subjects, at 29% ELA, 12% math, and 10% science—20, 26, and 26 points below state results. Topa Topa offers a stronger grade-level exception: its grade-3 and grade-4 ELA results were 4 and 6 points above the state. Nordhoff also had a 92% graduation rate and 4% dropout rate, compared with state figures of 88% and 8%.

Across the same five schools, average ELA proficiency was essentially unchanged between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, while math fell 3 points and science fell 4; Nordhoff High improved in all three subjects, while Summit declined in all three. SchoolDigger rank-history percentiles also moved in different directions: Nordhoff High went from the 81st to the 73rd percentile, while Topa Topa edged up from the 44th to the 45th. The two elementary schools had similar 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measures—55% at Mira Monte Elementary and 54% at Topa Topa—yet Topa Topa was stronger in several 2025–2026 results; their student-teacher ratios were 25.5 and 24.7. These measures provide context, not an explanation for outcomes. Comparisons are limited because Legacy High has test results only for 2024–2025, and Meiners Oaks Early Education has no test scores in the supplied data.
