Elementary Schools in Ojai Unified

The Ojai Unified district includes three public elementary schools serving grades K-6, with Meiners Oaks Early Education focusing solely on kindergarten.

Among the comprehensive K-6 schools, Mira Monte Elementary stands out as the highest performer, particularly in math and science where its scores are above the district average and close to the state average, and it holds the highest statewide ranking. Topa Topa Elementary shows strength in English Language Arts and has the lowest rate of chronic absenteeism in the group. All three schools have student absenteeism rates better than the district and state averages, which is a positive sign of student engagement.

Parents should note that Meiners Oaks Early Education, as a kindergarten-only school, has smaller classes and higher per-student spending but does not have standardized test scores reported. While both Mira Monte and Topa Topa serve similar student populations, there is a notable performance gap in science between them. The district as a whole faces a challenge in mathematics, with scores lagging behind the state average, though Mira Monte is making the strongest progress in this subject.
