Summary:

The Oxnard School District consists of 20 public elementary and middle schools (grades K-8) serving a community with high economic need, where every school performs below California state averages in English, math, and science.

While the district faces challenges, standout schools include Norman R. Brekke Elementary, which has the highest test scores, and Thurgood Marshall Elementary and Emilie Ritchen Elementary, which also show strong performance; in contrast, schools like Ramona Elementary and Elm Street Elementary rank in the bottom percentiles statewide and need the most support.

Key findings show that K-8 schools often outperform K-5 schools, middle school math scores tend to drop, and there is no clear link between per-student spending and performance; parents should note that chronic absenteeism is a district-wide issue, but some schools like R.J. Frank Academy of Marine Science & Engineering have much better attendance, and specialized program schools do not necessarily achieve higher academic results than traditional schools in the area.
