Summary

Los Olivos Elementary in Los Olivos, California, serves 159 students in grades K–8. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was 69% in English language arts (ELA), 58% in math and 50% in science—above California by 20, 20 and 14 percentage points, respectively. It is the strongest nearby K–8 school with reported all-grades results, and the clearest overall finding is that it performs strongly across all three subjects.

Compared with nearby schools, Los Olivos ranks second in all-grades ELA, math and science; only Ballard Elementary scores higher in each. Its most striking grade-level strength is fifth-grade ELA: 86%, 37 points above the state and the highest among nearby schools reporting that grade. Fifth-grade math is the main area to watch: 36%, about 1 point below the state and fourth among eight nearby schools with results. The Los Olivos Elementary district reports the same percentages as the school in each subject and grade shown, a gap of 0 points that offers no separate performance benchmark.

Results have improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose 3 points, math 10 points and science 18 points, though science eased from 53% in 2024–2025 to 50% in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger ranks the school 1,016th of 5,804, at the 82nd percentile with 4 stars; it is second among nearby schools with a current ranking, behind Ballard. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Female Students rose from the 73rd to the 90th percentile between 2018–2019 and 2025–2026, while the overall percentile moved from 81 to 82—an improvement in the school’s relative standing for that group. For White Students, the percentile rose from 58 to 73 between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, even as the overall percentile went from 84 to 82. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 14.8, and 19% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 45% average among nearby schools with the same measure and year; these are context, not explanations for scores.
