Summary

Oneonta Elementary serves 434 students in grades K–6 in Imperial Beach, in the South Bay Union area. Its 2025–2026 test results put English language arts (ELA) close to the district average, mathematics near the average for nearby schools, and science below both comparisons. The clearest concern for families is chronic absenteeism: 36% of students were chronically absent, the highest rate among the nearby schools compared.

ELA is Oneonta’s strongest subject in comparison with local schools: 38% of students were proficient, close to the 38% district rate and above the 34% nearby-school average, though below California’s 49%. Mathematics proficiency was 23%, essentially matching the 23% nearby-school average, but below the district’s 25% and the state’s 38%. Science is the weakest area: 14% were proficient, compared with 22% in the district, 20% at nearby schools on average, and 36% statewide. Chronic absenteeism also stands out against broader benchmarks: Oneonta’s 36% rate was higher than the district’s 22% and the state’s 18%.

Results have improved in ELA and math over four reported years, while science has not kept pace: ELA rose 3 points and math rose 6 points, but science edged down 1 point and its gap with the state widened. Absenteeism rose from 28% in 2023–2024 to 32% in 2024–2025 and 36% in 2025–2026, a concerning upward trend. Oneonta’s SchoolDigger standing has gradually improved, from the 18th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 28th percentile in 2025–2026, though it still has 1 star. In 2024–2025, its student-teacher ratio was 22.8, the second-lowest among the 11 schools compared, and 69% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch—near the nearby-school average of 72%. These figures offer context, not explanations for student results.
