Summary

Thousand Oaks Elementary is a K–5 school in Berkeley, California, with 337 students, serving families in an area with several nearby elementary-school options. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were 61% in English language arts, 62% in math and 55% in science—above California’s rates in all three subjects, but below Berkeley Unified and most nearby schools. The key takeaway is that Thousand Oaks clears state benchmarks, but its latest results place it near the lower end of the nearby-school group.

Among the ten nearby schools, Thousand Oaks ranked third-lowest in all-grade ELA and science and fourth-lowest in math. Nearby-school averages were 70% in ELA, 68% in math and 61% in science—9, 6 and 6 percentage points above Thousand Oaks, respectively. The school’s relative bright spot is fourth grade: ELA proficiency was 70% and math was 71%, both its highest reported grade-level results. Fourth-grade ELA was close to the district rate, while math was 2 points above it; both were well above state rates. Third grade was weaker by comparison: ELA was 51% and math 61%, and Thousand Oaks ranked third-lowest among the 11 schools in both subjects. Third-grade ELA and math were 18 and 10 points below district rates.

Results have declined from their 2023–2024 highs: by 2025–2026, ELA was down 2 percentage points, math 5 and science 1 from 2022–2023. Even so, the school remained above state rates, though its advantage narrowed in each subject. SchoolDigger ranked Thousand Oaks at the 81st statewide percentile in 2025–2026, gave it four stars and placed it 1,089th out of 5,804 schools; six nearby schools had higher percentiles, two tied and two were lower. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 21, the lowest reported among the nearby schools with data. In 2024–2025, 28% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the same measure and year reported for nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 88th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 58th in 2025–2026, compared with an overall school percentile of 81; this sharp decline is a notable subgroup trend.
