Summary

Pleasant Valley School of Engineering and Arts serves 540 students in kindergarten through eighth grade in Camarillo, California, and is part of the Pleasant Valley district. The school’s results are a concern: in 2025–2026, proficiency was 40% in English language arts (ELA), 29% in math, and 19% in science, below state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%. The most important finding is that the school is behind the state, its district, and nearly all nearby schools in the latest results, with science its clearest weakness.

The gap shows up across subjects and local comparisons. The school’s proficiency was 10 percentage points below the state in both ELA and math, and 17 points below in science; compared with its district, it was behind by 20, 20, and 26 points, respectively. Nearby-school averages were 58% in ELA, 52% in math, and 43% in science, and the school was below every nearby school with results in ELA and math. Eighth-grade ELA is a bright spot: 51% proficiency was just above the state’s 49%; third-grade math also exceeded the state, 48% to 47%. But sixth- and seventh-grade math was particularly low, at 21% and 19%. Nearby comparisons include both K–5 and K–8 schools, so same-grade results offer a closer comparison.

Science has worsened over time: proficiency fell from 23% in 2022–2023 to 19% in 2025–2026, while the state improved from 30% to 36%. SchoolDigger’s rating also declined, from the 53rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 38th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026; the district is at the 79th percentile and 4 stars. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 18.7 in 2024–2025, below the nearby average of 22.1, and 61% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby average of 42%. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is that the school ranked at the 85th percentile for how well it serves English Language Learner Students in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 53rd percentile. Its ranking for how well it serves Hispanic Students fell from the 57th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 33rd in 2025–2026.
