Summary

Art Haycox Elementary serves 724 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Oxnard’s Hueneme Elementary district. It is the largest nearby K–5 school by enrollment, but its latest academic results are the lowest among nearby K–5 schools: it had the lowest all-grades proficiency in English language arts (ELA), math and science.

Test results are well below nearby, district and state comparisons. Across eight other nearby K–5 schools, average proficiency was 26% in ELA, 21% in math and 18% in science; Art Haycox was lower by 16, 15 and 14 percentage points, respectively. Its results were 9% in ELA, 6% in math and 4% in science, compared with district averages of 28%, 18% and 18%, and state averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. Math was closest to the district, while science was closest to the state and nearby-school averages; ELA had the largest gaps. Attendance is a positive counterpoint: chronic absenteeism fell to 10% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 17%, the state’s 18% and every nearby school’s latest reported rate.

Test results have not shown a similar improvement over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency rose by less than a point, while math and science each fell by less than a point. Over that period, the gap with the state widened by 2 points in ELA, 4 in math and 6 in science. SchoolDigger places the school at the 0th statewide percentile, ranks it 5,790th of 5,804, and gives it 0 stars; nearby schools range from the 7th to 29th percentile. Its 21.3:1 student-teacher ratio is within the nearby range of 19.0:1 to 23.8:1. In 2024–2025, 95% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with an 84% nearby-school average; California provides free meals to all students statewide, so this eligibility measure does not indicate a difference in access to free meals. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves special education students fell from the 21st to the 2nd percentile between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026; its ranking for homeless students fell from the 26th to the 7th percentile.
