Schools in Zip Code 93041

ZIP code 93041 has four elementary schools: Richard Bard, Parkview, Sunkist and Hueneme. All serve kindergarten through grade 5, while Sunkist also serves grades 6–8. The most important finding is that every school is below California’s 2025–26 proficiency rates in ELA, math and science: the four-school averages trail the state by 23, 17 and 18 percentage points, respectively.

Sunkist leads all-grades ELA and math, with 35% and 28% proficiency; Parkview is lowest in those subjects, at 20% and 14%. That is a 16-point ELA gap and a 14-point math gap. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 ranking also puts Sunkist highest among the four, at the 29th percentile, and Parkview lowest, at the 7th. Richard Bard leads science at 19%, while Hueneme is lowest at 15%, a 4-point difference. Grade-level results add nuance: Bard leads grade 4 ELA and math, while Sunkist leads in both subjects in grades 3 and 5.

Results are improving unevenly. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, the four-school average rose 2 points in math and 1 point in science, while ELA was nearly flat; math was the only subject where the local average gained ground on the state. The schools’ student-teacher ratios are similar, ranging from 19.0 to 20.4. All report free/reduced lunch eligible (FRL) figures for 2024–25, ranging from 73% at Hueneme to 85% at Sunkist; these figures are context, not an explanation of results. Absenteeism also varies: Parkview’s 15% is below the state’s 18%, while Sunkist is at 20% and Hueneme has the area’s highest rate, 22%. Because Sunkist serves through grade 8 and the others through grade 5, same-grade comparisons are more directly comparable than all-grades results.
