Hollywood Beach Elementary scores 57 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 79th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Most rating sites would stop at “56% proficient” and call it done. Hollywood Beach deserves a closer read. The school sits in Oxnard, where one in three students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Worth a school visit

Ask how the school challenges kids who clear the standard early. The gap between meeting and exceeding is where pacing shows.

  • Ask what changes between grade 3 and grade 5 here, and who teaches the older kids.
  • Ask which schools families here actually choose next — the zoned path is only the default.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
  • Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
  • Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
  • Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.

What are Hollywood Beach Elementary's CAASPP test scores?

On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 55.7% of students at Hollywood Beach Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 26.5% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 29.2% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 26.5% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number.

How does Hollywood Beach Elementary rank in California?

Hollywood Beach Elementary ranks #1,228 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 79th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 3 to grade 5 growth), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.

Is Hollywood Beach Elementary getting better or worse?

Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Hollywood Beach Elementary decreases by 5.4 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth. This downward pattern doesn't necessarily mean the school is failing — it can reflect cohort differences, demographic shifts, or curriculum changes. A campus visit and conversation with teachers can reveal what the numbers can't. Growth trajectory is weighted at 15% in the elementary Scope Score because it measures what the school does, not just who walks in the door.

What is the attendance and school culture like at Hollywood Beach Elementary?

SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
