Summary

Ella Elementary serves 554 students in grades K–6 in Olivehurst, California. Its results vary by subject: math is a relative strength, while ELA lags and science stands out as the main concern. In 2025–26, only 6% of students were proficient in science, the lowest result among Ella and the 10 nearby schools in the comparison.

Math is Ella’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools and its district: 24% were proficient, compared with 21% in Marysville Joint Unified and a nearby-school average of 24%. That is still below California’s 38%. ELA proficiency was 28%, below the district’s 34%, the state’s 49%, and the nearby-school average of 32%; seven nearby schools scored higher. Science was much further behind: Ella’s 6% compared with 22% in the district, 36% statewide, and a nearby-school average of 20%. For grade-level detail, fifth grade was a weak spot, while sixth-grade ELA and math results were above district results.

ELA and math have edged up since 2022–23, but science has dropped sharply: Ella’s science proficiency fell from 16% to 6%, while the state’s rose from 30% to 36%. Chronic absenteeism improved from 55% in 2021–22 to 24% in 2025–26, yet remains above the district’s 19% and the state’s 18%; only Cedar Lane Elementary was higher among nearby schools. SchoolDigger ranks Ella at the 18th percentile in California and gives it 1 star for 2025–26; its student–teacher ratio is 26.3:1, the highest in the comparison group. In 2024–25, 82% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for English Language Learner students was notably higher than the school’s overall ranking in 2023–24: the group ranked at the 67th percentile, compared with 18th overall. For Special Education Students, the ranking shifted from the 65th percentile in 2024–25 to the 27th in 2025–26, a substantial change to watch.
