Summary

Topa Topa Elementary serves 347 students in grades K–6 in Ojai Valley, in the Ojai area of California. Its results are mixed: it leads nearby schools with the same grade span in English language arts (ELA), but its math and science results are below state averages. The most important concern is the longer-term loss of ground: since 2022–2023, proficiency has fallen 17 points in ELA, 15 points in math and 21 points in science.

ELA is the school’s clearest strength: in 2025–2026, 45% of students met the standard, compared with 42% in Ojai Unified, 49% statewide and an average of 32% at four nearby K–6 schools. Math was 28%, above the district’s 26% but below the state’s 38% and the K–6 peer average of 26%. Sixth-grade math is a particular concern: 19% met the standard, compared with 37% statewide and 22%–31% at three of the four nearby K–6 schools; only Glen City Elementary scored lower. Science is a local bright spot at 31%, 10 points above the K–6 peer average, but below the district’s 33% and the state’s 36%.

There are signs of recent recovery, though results remain below state levels in all three subjects. Since 2023–2024, ELA has risen 3 points and science 9; math has risen 2 points from its low that year. SchoolDigger gives the school 2 stars and a 45th-percentile statewide rank for 2025–2026, down from the 75th percentile in 2022–2023. Its 24.7 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 was among the higher ratios nearby. The school reported 54% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; California is identified as a statewide-free-meals state, so this is the school’s reported eligibility measure. SchoolDigger ranked its effectiveness for Low Socio Economic Status Students at the 20th percentile, compared with 45th overall. Its English Language Learner Students ranked at the 79th percentile in 2018–2019, a historical result with no more recent subgroup ranking supplied.
