Summary

Meiners Oaks Elementary is a public elementary school serving 241 students in grades K-5 in Ojai, California. The school is part of the Ojai Unified School District, which is ranked 823 out of 1,560 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Meiners Oaks has a diverse student population, with 41.91% White, 51.04% Hispanic, and 6.64% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance lags behind nearby schools like Topa Topa Elementary and Loma Vista Elementary, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2022-2023 school year, Meiners Oaks had lower proficiency rates compared to the Ojai Unified School District and the state of California, with only 18.18% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and just 3.57% of 5th graders proficient in Mathematics.

Additionally, Meiners Oaks faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, at 24.7% compared to the state average of 14.3% and the district average of 18.9%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (48.55%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a low-income student population. These issues are particularly concerning for the school's Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status student subgroups, which perform in the bottom 10-20% of California elementary schools, while the school's White student subgroup performs better, ranking in the middle 30-40%.
