Summary

Thurgood Marshall Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 702 students in Oxnard, California, within the Oxnard School District, and it has shown remarkable academic improvement over the past decade despite serving a community with significant economic need.

The school consistently outperforms its district averages in math, English, and science, and it has a particular strength in teaching English Language Learners, ranking in the state's top 15% for that group. Fifth graders excel here, with proficiency rates often far exceeding both district and state averages. However, the school faces challenges, including a notable drop in 8th-grade performance, a chronic absenteeism rate above the state average, and a persistent gap where female students outperform male students. While it receives more funding per student than many neighbors, its outcomes are mixed compared to higher-performing schools like Rio del Sol in the Rio Elementary District or Montalvo Elementary in Ventura Unified, which have lower absenteeism.

Overall, Thurgood Marshall represents a story of sustained progress within its district context, moving from a low to a solid mid-range state ranking. For families, it is a relatively strong option within the Oxnard district, especially for students in elementary grades or those learning English, though the middle school performance and attendance are areas to watch.
