Somis Union

Somis Union has one listed school, Somis Elementary, serving kindergarten through eighth grade and enrolling 270 students. Since it is the only school listed, there is no school-to-school comparison. In 2025–26, its math proficiency was above California’s, while ELA and science were below: 44% versus 38% in math, 42% versus 49% in ELA, and 17% versus 36% in science. The biggest concern is science, where the school trailed the state by 19 percentage points.

Somis Elementary stands out for math overall, but results vary considerably by grade. Fourth-grade math was 63%, 21 points above the state result for that grade, while fifth-grade math was 19%, 17 points below; the school’s grade-level math results spanned 44 points. ELA was similarly uneven: seventh grade reached 56%, 6 points above the state, while sixth grade was 15%, 33 points below. Science was the weakest all-grades subject, and even its highest grade result—fifth-grade science at 19%—was 16 points below the state.

Recent results show mixed movement. Science rose 4 percentage points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, but remained 19 points below the state; math dipped slightly, while its 5-point state advantage remained. ELA shifted from 3 points above the state in 2024–25 to 7 points below in 2025–26. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also fell: the school went from percentile 71 (rank 1,725 of 5,857) to percentile 49 (rank 2,942 of 5,804). Chronic absenteeism was 4% in 2025–26, compared with 18% statewide. As context, the school’s student–teacher ratio was 22.3 and 81% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25.
