Summary

Elmhurst Elementary serves 378 students in grades K–5 in Ventura, within Ventura Unified. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were 33% in English language arts (ELA), 27% in math and 33% in science. The most important finding for parents is that math is a particular concern: the school had the lowest math proficiency among eight nearby K–5 schools.

Results are below state and district levels in ELA and math, while science is a relative bright spot. ELA proficiency was 17 percentage points below the state and 15 below the district; math was 12 below the state and 10 below the district. In science, the school was 3 points below the state but 2 above the district. Compared with the eight nearby K–5 schools, its rates were 21 points below their average in ELA, 21 below in math and 13 below in science. The school ranked second-lowest in ELA and science among those peers, and lowest in math. Fifth-grade math stands out: 21% of students were proficient, 16 points below the state and 17 below the district.

Across four years, ELA and math have not kept pace with state results: the gap with the state widened by 4 points in ELA and 5 in math, while science improved by 8 points and its state gap narrowed by 2. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 48% in 2021–22 to 17% in 2025–26, though the latest rate remained 3 points above the district. SchoolDigger ranks the school in the 31st percentile with 2 stars, down from the 43rd percentile in 2023–24; nearby schools rank from the 35th to 85th percentile. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 20.9:1, the lowest among nearby K–5 schools. The school reported 72% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, the highest share among the nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Special Education Students was at the 59th percentile in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 31st percentile; for White Students, it was at the 10th percentile.
