Summary

Peabody Charter serves 780 students in grades K–6 in Santa Barbara, alongside nearby public and charter schools. In 2024–2025, 71% of students were proficient in English language arts, 63% in math, and 58% in science, compared with California rates of 49%, 37%, and 33%. Peabody’s results are strong across all three subjects, making it one of the area’s highest-performing schools and well above state results.

Peabody ranks near the top of nearby schools overall: among ten schools with 2024–2025 results, it placed second in English and math and third in science. Its results were 20 percentage points above the nearby-school average in English, 18 points above in math, and 19 points above in science. Monte Vista Elementary had the top English and math results, while Monte Vista and Vieja Valley Elementary were ahead in science. A grade-level exception is fourth-grade math: Peabody had 60% proficiency, compared with 84% at Adelante Charter. Peabody exceeded state results in every tested subject, but no comparable score is supplied for the Peabody Charter District.

Results rose in all three subjects from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, with the largest gain in science: 13 percentage points, compared with 5 in English and 2 in math. SchoolDigger placed Peabody at the 87th percentile with four stars in 2024–2025, up 14 percentile points from 2018–2019. One notable subgroup concern is SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves English Language Learner Students: it was at the 17th percentile in 2023–2024, down from the 75th percentile in 2021–2022, while Peabody’s overall percentile was 87. Peabody’s student-teacher ratio was 22.2, higher than the nearby range of 16.2 to 20.8. Its reported free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 43% in 2024–2025; nearby schools ranged from 26% to 82%. These are useful context when comparing schools, but do not explain the test results.
