Providence

Public, Alternative Grades K-12

Summary

Providence is a small K–12 alternative school in Oxnard, serving 35 students through the Ventura County Office of Education. Its latest reported math proficiency was 0% in 2025–26, compared with 38% statewide and 2% in its district; six nearby schools with results averaged 23%. The most serious warning is the school’s 48% dropout rate in 2025–26, above the state’s 8%, the district’s 22%, and every nearby school’s reported rate.

Very low absenteeism is a notable bright spot: Providence’s 2025–26 rate was 1.2%, compared with 18% statewide and 32% in its district; only Summit was lower among nearby schools, at 1.0%. Other reported outcomes are much weaker. In 2024–25, Providence had 0% proficiency in ELA, versus 49% statewide and 5% in its district; all nine nearby schools with results scored above zero. Its 43% graduation rate in 2025–26 was below the state’s 88%, though above the district’s 30%; only Triton Academy had a lower reported rate among nearby schools.

Math proficiency has remained at 0% in every reported year from 2022–23 through 2025–26, while the state result rose from 35% to 38%, widening the gap by 4 points. ELA also declined, from 8% in 2022–23 to 0% in 2024–25; the 2025–26 ELA and science results are suppressed, so they are unknown. Context matters: Providence’s 5.4:1 student–teacher ratio is the lowest among nearby schools with reported ratios. Its 2024–25 measure was 91% free/reduced lunch eligible, 6 points above the next-highest nearby rate. California is identified in the data as a state where all students receive free school meals, but Providence’s own eligibility measure is still reported. SchoolDigger’s supplied rating is for the district, not Providence: the district ranks 431 of 968 (55th percentile) and has 3 stars.
