Summary

Fred L. Williams Elementary is a K–5 school in Oxnard, California, serving 572 students in the Hueneme Elementary district. Its latest results show a clear pattern: it leads nearby schools in English language arts (ELA) and science, while math is closer to the middle of the group, and all three subjects remain below state proficiency levels.

In 2025–26, 35% of students were proficient in ELA, 26% in science, and 20% in math. Among nine nearby K–5 schools, those results put Fred L. Williams first in ELA and science; its math score was around the peer average of 19%. Compared with the district, the school was ahead by 7 points in ELA, 8 in science, and 2 in math. But it remained below California by 14 points in ELA, 10 in science, and 18 in math. Fourth-grade math stands out as a particular weakness: 13% were proficient, 7 points below the district and 29 below the state. Third-grade math was stronger at 29%, the second-highest result among those nearby schools.

Results have improved since 2022–23: ELA rose by 12 points, math by 7, and science by 12, narrowing the state gaps in all three subjects. Science has fluctuated, falling to 8% in 2024–25 before reaching 26% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 25th statewide percentile with 1 star in 2025–26; its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 22.2, and 86% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism also improved, dropping 17 points from 2021–22 to 15% in 2025–26, below both the district’s 17% and the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger rated the school’s effectiveness for Special Education Students at the 45th percentile (2 stars) in 2024–25, compared with its overall 12th percentile that year; for Homeless Students, it rose from the 19th percentile in 2024–25 to the 43rd percentile (2 stars) in 2025–26. Subgroup counts are not provided, so those group rankings should be read with caution.
