Summary
Rio Lindo Elementary serves 405 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Oxnard, California, and has the smallest enrollment among the 10 nearby schools in this comparison. In 2025–26, proficiency was below the state average in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. Science is the clearest concern: just 16% of students were proficient, compared with 23% in the district, 36% statewide, and a 21% average at nearby schools.
Math is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: 25% of students were proficient, slightly above the nearby-school average of 24%, though below the district’s 26% and the state’s 38%. ELA proficiency was 29%, below the nearby average of 31% and the state’s 49%. Science also trailed the nearby average, district, and state. Results vary by grade, too: grade 5 ELA proficiency was 38%, a relative bright spot, while grade 4 ELA was 22%; grade 5 math was 16%.
Results have improved since 2022–23: ELA rose 3 percentage points, math 5 points, and science 5 points. However, the state gap narrowed in ELA and math but widened in science. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 20th percentile statewide in 2025–26 and gave it 1 star; its percentile was up from 17 the prior year. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure showed a particularly strong result for English Language Learner students, at the 87th percentile in 2023–24 compared with the school’s overall 18th percentile that year. For Special Education Students, the percentile fell from 73 in 2023–24 to 39 in 2024–25. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 22.5, close to the nearby-school average of 22.7. Also in 2024–25, 79% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with an 83% average among nearby schools reporting that same measure.
