Summary

Rio Rosales is a K–5 elementary school serving 557 students in Oxnard, in the Rio Elementary School District. Its 2025–2026 results were below both district and state proficiency rates in all three tested subjects: 23% in English language arts (ELA), 17% in math, and 21% in science. The most important concern is that ELA and math results fell sharply in the latest year.

Among nearby K–5 schools, Rio Rosales was toward the lower end in ELA and math, but stronger in science. Its ELA and math rates were 8 and 9 percentage points below the five K–5 peers’ averages, while science was 4 points above their average; only Norman R. Brekke had a higher science result. Compared with the district, Rio Rosales was 12 points lower in ELA, 9 points lower in math, and 2 points lower in science. Its gaps to the state were wider: 27 points in ELA, 22 in math, and 15 in science. Science is a relative bright spot, though it remains below district and state rates.

Results have weakened over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 11 points and math fell 8, while science rose 7. From 2024–2025 alone, ELA dropped 9 points and math 8. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking fell from the 34th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 11th percentile in 2025–2026; it received 1 star in the latest year. Context includes a student–teacher ratio of 23.2 in 2024–2025, the second-highest among nearby schools reporting data, and 77% of students free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves English Language Learner Students ranked it at the 69th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 34th percentile that year. For Homeless Students, the ranking rose from the 7th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 31st in 2025–2026, even as the overall ranking fell from the 25th to the 11th percentile.
