Summary

Norman R. Brekke Elementary is a K–5 school in Oxnard serving 585 students. Its clearest distinction is that it leads six nearby K–5 schools in English language arts, math, and science, with its biggest advantage in math.

Brekke’s 2025–26 proficiency rates were 52% in English language arts, 50% in math, and 37% in science. Those results were above state rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%, respectively, and above the Oxnard district’s 34%, 23%, and 22%. Brekke also outperformed nearby K–5 averages by 25 percentage points in English language arts, 29 in math, and 22 in science. Results are less strong in fifth grade: 47% were proficient in English language arts and 32% in math, both below state rates, though still the highest among nearby schools in those grades. Attendance is a significant concern: 27% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, compared with 19% districtwide and 18% statewide; this was the highest rate among nearby schools reporting that year.

Results have shifted over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, science proficiency rose by 16 percentage points and math by 3, while English language arts fell by 1. SchoolDigger ranked Brekke at the 67th statewide percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, up 45 percentile points from 2017–18; the district stood at the 20th percentile. In 2024–25, Brekke’s student-teacher ratio was 20.5, near the nearby-school average of 21.9. That year, 74% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the 88% average among nearby schools reporting that same measure. SchoolDigger’s 2023–24 subgroup rankings also showed a notably high result for English Language Learner Students—84th percentile, compared with 61st overall—and a much lower result for Asian Students, at the 14th percentile.
