Summary

Will Rogers Elementary is a K–5 school in Ventura, California, serving 426 students in Ventura Unified among several nearby elementary schools. Its latest results show a clear academic concern: English language arts proficiency is well below both the district and state.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby K–5 schools, the district and the state: 33% of students were proficient, near the nearby-school average of 34% and above the district’s 31%, though below the state’s 36%. ELA is the weakest: 32% were proficient, compared with 42% at nearby schools, 48% in the district and 49% statewide; the school ranked sixth of nine nearby K–5 schools. Math was also below those benchmarks, at 31% versus 37% at nearby schools, 36% in the district and 38% statewide. Within the school, fifth-grade ELA and math were stronger than third- and fourth-grade results, while fourth-grade math was a particular weak spot.

Results have not improved steadily: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 3 points and its gap with the state widened from 11 to 17 points. Math was nearly unchanged overall, despite rising to 40% in 2023–2024 before falling to 31%; science rose 9 points in the latest year. SchoolDigger places the school at the 35th statewide percentile with 2 stars, down from the 52nd percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024; the district is at the 52nd percentile. SchoolDigger’s group rankings point to particular statewide challenges: Hispanic students ranked at the 11th percentile in 2025–2026, down 31 percentile points since 2023–2024, and Low Socio Economic Status Students ranked at the 4th percentile. In 2024–2025, 63% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the nearby-school average of 63%; the student–teacher ratio was 28.4:1, higher than every nearby K–5 school. One positive is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 10% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 14% and state’s 18%.
