Summary

Somis Elementary serves 270 students in kindergarten through eighth grade in Somis Union School District, in Somis, California. Its 2025–26 results are mixed: math proficiency is above the state level, while English language arts (ELA) is below it. Grade results also vary considerably, with fifth-grade ELA and math and sixth-grade ELA particularly weak. The clearest concern is science: 17% of students were proficient, compared with 36% statewide, a 19-point gap.

Math is the school’s strongest subject compared with the state: 44% of students were proficient, 5 points above California, and the reported district result was the same. But the advantage is modest among nearby K–8 peers: Somis was in the middle of the three schools, 2 points above their average. ELA proficiency was 42%, 7 points below the state and 11 points below the nearby K–8 average; Los Primeros School of Sciences & Arts scored 67% and Pleasant Valley School of Engineering and Arts scored 40%. Fifth grade was the lowest among nine nearby K–5 schools with comparable results in both ELA and math. Sixth-grade ELA was also low, at 15%, versus 48% statewide. There are stronger grade-level results, including fourth- and seventh-grade math above state levels, but these do not offset the weaker grades.

Recent trends add to the concern: ELA proficiency fell 10 points in the latest year, to 42%, after rising from 47% in 2022–23 to 52% in 2024–25. Over the same period, SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 71st to the 49th percentile, a 22-point drop; the school has 2 stars. Math has stayed roughly flat while the state gained ground, and science remains far below the state despite a small net increase. One positive is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 4% in 2025–26, 15 points below the state. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 22.3, close to the nearby average of 21.9. Somis reported 81% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, the highest share among nearby schools reporting the same measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well it serves Hispanic students fell from the 77th percentile in 2023–24 to the 50th in 2025–26; its measure for low socioeconomic status students fell from the 78th to the 51st percentile. These subgroup rankings are reported for intermittent years, rather than as a continuous annual series.
