Summary

Driffill Elementary is an Oxnard district school serving 891 students in grades K–8 in the Oxnard area. Its strongest all-grades result is science, but its results remain below state proficiency rates in all three tested subjects. The most important concern is third-grade math: just 19% of students were proficient, compared with 30% in the district and 47% statewide.

Compared with four nearby K–8 schools, Driffill ranks first of five in science, second in math, and fourth in English language arts (ELA). Science proficiency was 23%, 1 percentage point above the Oxnard district and 13 points below the state. ELA was 30%—4 points below the district and 19 below the state—while math was 20%, 3 points below the district and 18 below the state. The grade-level pattern matters: although third-grade math is a clear weakness, eighth-grade math proficiency was 31%, above the district’s 22% and higher than the nearby K–8 schools with reported results.

Results have moved in different directions over time: science rose by 8 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while ELA increased by 3 and math declined by 1. Driffill’s science gap with the state narrowed by 2 points, but its math gap widened by 4 points. SchoolDigger ranks the school in the 14th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, with 1 star; it sits near the middle of the nearby group despite its low statewide standing. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 19.6, lower than all but two nearby schools, and 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show stronger relative standing for English Language Learner Students: the group was in the 60th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 23rd percentile. For Homeless Students, the school ranked in the 43rd percentile in 2025–2026, versus its overall 14th percentile; that group’s ranking uses a smaller comparison pool.
