Summary:
Zip code 93160’s list contains one school, Santa Barbara County Community, a 27-student high school serving grades 5–12. The clearest concern in the reported 2025–26 results is that the school recorded 0% all-grades proficiency in ELA, math and science, while California’s results were about 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively—gaps of 49, 38 and 36 percentage points.
There is no peer-school leader or trailer because Santa Barbara County Community is the only school listed. Its chronic absenteeism is also notably high: 68% in 2025–26, compared with 36% for the Santa Barbara County Office of Education and 18% statewide—32 points above the district and 50 above the state. Eighth-grade results were also 0% in all three subjects; compared with California, the gaps were 49 points in ELA, 36 in math and 35 in science. Because this is the only school listed, there is no peer-school comparison; seventh-grade results are suppressed and therefore unknown.
The school’s reported proficiency stayed at 0% in each subject from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while California’s results rose by less than a point in ELA, 1 point in math and 3 points in science. SchoolDigger’s historical rankings list percentile figures of 21, 26 and 25 for 2010–11, 2011–12 and 2012–13; these are old entries, not current test results. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 6.7 students per teacher. Also as context, 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; California is reported as a state where all students receive free school meals (Community Eligibility).
