Summary

Will Rogers Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 426 students in the Ventura Unified School District, currently ranked in the 40th percentile among California elementary schools.

Academically, the school's proficiency rates in math and English are below district and state averages, and its performance has been volatile in recent years. However, when compared to nearby schools with similar student populations, such as E. P. Foster Elementary and Sheridan Way Elementary, Will Rogers achieves notably stronger academic results. A significant bright spot is the school's success in dramatically reducing chronic student absenteeism, now well below both district and state averages.

The school operates with a high student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than many peers, yet manages these resources effectively. Performance varies considerably between different student groups and across grade levels, with fifth-grade math being a particular challenge. While it trails higher-performing schools like Pierpont Elementary and Loma Vista Elementary, Will Rogers occupies a middle position within the district, serving its community's needs more effectively than schools with similar demographics.
