Mar Vista Elementary

Mar Vista Elementary is a public elementary school in Oxnard, California, that is part of the Ocean View School District. It serves students in Kindergarten through Grade 5. The school has about 466 students and a student–teacher ratio of 20:1, which is about the same as the average in the area. Mar Vista Elementary is Title I-eligible, which means it gets extra money to help students from low-income families and run programs to improve their reading and math skills. The student body is very diverse, with about 98% of students identifying as a minority, mostly Hispanic, which reflects the demographics of the community. English Language Arts and Mathematics are the main subjects of academic programs. There are also targeted interventions for students who are not doing well in these subjects. Recent test results show that only about 22% of students are good at math and only about 18% are good at English Language Arts. These numbers are lower than the state averages in California.

Recently, Mar Vista Elementary sent out its school calendar and schedule of events for late January and February. This included early dismissal days, spirit wear days, and a parent meeting. This shows that the school is actively communicating with families about upcoming events.
