Summary

Juanamaria Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 397 students in the Ventura Unified School District, which has seen a significant decline in its statewide academic ranking over the past decade, now placing in the 47th percentile with proficiency rates below district and state averages in most core subjects.

When compared to nearby schools, Juanamaria stands out for having the highest per-student spending in the area at $21,729, yet its academic outcomes are lower than schools like Mound Elementary and Poinsettia Elementary that spend less. The school also shows pronounced performance gaps for certain student subgroups, with scores for Special Education students ranking particularly low. However, the school manages a notable strength in maintaining a lower chronic absenteeism rate (13.2%) than many similar schools, such as Citrus Glen Elementary and Portola Elementary.

Performance varies considerably by grade and subject, suggesting potential inconsistencies in curriculum or instruction, though science scores are relatively closer to average. The school's long-term academic decline from a 4-star to a 2-star rating presents a significant challenge, especially given its higher level of funding, indicating that resource allocation and support for struggling students are key areas for potential improvement and focus.
