Summary:
Zip code 93022 has one listed school, Sunset Elementary, serving grades K–8 with 357 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grade proficiency was below both the state and Ventura Unified averages in ELA, math, and science. The largest state gap was in ELA: 35% proficient at Sunset versus 49% statewide, a 15-point difference. This across-subject shortfall is the most important finding for families.
Grade-level results show both stronger pockets and areas of concern. Grade 7 math stood out: 47% proficient, 9 points above the state’s 38%; grade 8 ELA was also above the state, at 54% versus 49%, a 4-point advantage. Grade 5 was the weakest relative result: ELA proficiency was 22% versus 49% statewide, 28 points lower, and math was 18% versus 37%, 19 points lower. Across all grades, math was Sunset’s strongest subject relative to the state, with an 11-point gap, compared with 13 points in science and 15 in ELA. These overall figures mask substantial differences from grade to grade.
Recent results moved in different directions: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Sunset’s math proficiency rose 2 points, while ELA fell 1 point and science fell 8; statewide science proficiency rose 3 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking also declined, from the 50th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 33rd in 2024–2025 and the 21st in 2025–2026; its star rating went from two to one in the latest year. As context, Sunset’s student–teacher ratio was 27.4 in 2024–2025, and 66% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Because only one school is listed, families cannot compare schools within the ZIP code.
