Summary:
ZIP code 91606 has five K–5 elementary schools. Across them, average proficiency was 43% in ELA and 24% in science, both below the state averages of 49% and 36%; math averaged 44%, above the state’s 38%. The clearest overall finding is that John B. Monlux Elementary stands apart, leading the group in both ELA and math and exceeding state results in those subjects.
Monlux scored 59% in ELA and 56% in math—about 19 and 16 percentage points higher, respectively, than the average for the other four schools. It was the only school above the state in ELA and exceeded the state by 9 points in ELA and 18 in math. At the other end, Bellingham Elementary had the lowest all-grade scores: 36% in ELA, 37% in math, and 13% in science. Victory Boulevard Elementary led the group in science at 33%, but was still 3 points below the state. Science is a shared challenge: none of the five schools reached the state result.
Recent changes were mixed: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, the group’s ELA average was flat while the state rose 0.5 percentage points; math increased 0.7 points, less than the state’s 1.1-point gain; and science fell 4 points as the state rose 3. Oxnard Street Elementary was a notable exception in math, gaining 12 points, while Bellingham declined in all three subjects. SchoolDigger’s ranking percentiles rose from 69 to 73 for Monlux and 36 to 46 for Fair Avenue Elementary, but fell from 62 to 54 for Victory; these are relative rankings, not test-score changes. Staffing ratios also varied: Monlux had 22 students per teacher, compared with 19.8 at Oxnard. Monlux’s chronic absenteeism was 10%, while the other four schools ranged from 24% to 30%.
