Summary

Thurgood Marshall Elementary serves 702 students in grades K–8 in Oxnard. In 2025–26, students were proficient at rates close to California’s averages in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The most important finding is that the school combines near-statewide proficiency with results that rank among the strongest of 10 nearby schools.

Compared with nearby schools, Thurgood Marshall ranked second in ELA and science and third in math: 49% were proficient in ELA, 37% in math, and 36% in science. It was ahead of the nearby-school averages by 12 points in ELA, 9 in math, and 12 in science, though Rio del Sol led in all three subjects. The school was within a point of state proficiency in ELA, math, and science, and exceeded Oxnard district rates by about 14 points in each. Results vary by grade: fifth grade was a standout, with 68% proficient in ELA, 53% in math, and 51% in science—the highest nearby results in each subject. By contrast, fourth-grade ELA was 35%, 11 points below the state, and eighth-grade science was 22%, 13 points below.

Scores have improved overall: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose 12 points and math 13 points, bringing both much closer to state rates. Science gained 4 points over those years, with a sharp increase in the latest year after earlier dips. SchoolDigger ranked the school in the 64th percentile and gave it 3 stars in 2025–26, up from the 39th percentile in 2021–22; the district was at the 20th percentile and 1 star. One notable subgroup change is in SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves students in special education: its ranking rose from the 47th percentile in 2024–25 to the 74th in 2025–26, while the overall ranking rose from 59th to 64th. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 19.9, below the nearby average of 21.8. In that same year, 75% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the nearby average. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling from 32% in 2021–22 to 20% in 2025–26, though it remained about a point above state and district rates.
