Summary:
Zip code 93022 in Oak View, California, is served by a single elementary school, Sunset Elementary, a K-8 school with 357 students in the Ventura Unified School District.
Sunset Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency in English and math consistently below both district and state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years. However, the school shows specific strengths, such as 8th-grade science scores that outperform averages and a chronic absenteeism rate lower than its peers, suggesting positive aspects of school culture. The student body has high economic need, with over 66% qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and classes are large with a student-teacher ratio of 27 to 1.
For parents, this means the local school provides a continuous K-8 environment but requires careful consideration of its academic support, especially in early-grade math and reading. The substantial per-student spending indicates resources are available, but the large class sizes may impact how those resources are felt in the classroom. The school's performance in upper-grade science and better-than-average attendance are positive factors to balance against its overall academic standing.
