Summary
Ventura Charter School of Arts and Global Education is a K–8 school in Ventura, California, with 455 students. In 2024–2025, 59% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 46% in math, and 45% in science. Those results were above both California’s rates and the averages for 10 nearby schools in all three subjects. The most important takeaway is that the school performed above the state and nearby-school averages across every reported subject.
Its clearest advantage over nearby schools was in ELA: it scored 16 percentage points above their average, compared with 10 points in math and 12 in science. It ranked fifth of 11 schools in ELA, fourth in math, and fifth in science, so it was strong locally but not the top performer. Compared with California, the school was ahead by 10 points in ELA, 9 in math, and 12 in science; compared with Ventura Unified, it was ahead by 9, 10, and 12 points, respectively. Results varied by grade: eighth-grade ELA was 75%, 27 points above the state grade-level rate, while third-grade math was 37%, 9 points below the state rate. The supplied district comparison is with Ventura Unified, not the school’s own charter district, and nearby grade-level results are from a different year.
Results rose from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025: ELA gained 5 percentage points, math 1, and science 3. Over that period, the school’s lead over the state widened in ELA and science but narrowed in math. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 68th percentile statewide with 3 stars in 2024–2025—higher than six nearby schools with rankings available and lower than three. Its student-teacher ratio was 22.5, near the middle of the nearby-school range. The school reported that 37% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the third-lowest rate among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure for White Students was at the 52nd percentile, below the school’s overall 68th percentile. Female Students’ percentile fell from 74 to 63 between 2022–2023 and 2024–2025, while Male Students’ rose from 61 to 72.
