Best Public Schools in Camarillo, CA

Summary:

The city of Camarillo, California is home to 22 schools spanning elementary, middle, high, and alternative education, spread across several districts including Oxnard Union High, Pleasant Valley, and Ventura County Office of Education. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools in the area, with standout institutions like Rancho Campana High and Camarillo Academy of Progressive Education contrasting with struggling schools such as Frontier High and the Ventura County Office of Education schools.

The top-performing high schools, Rancho Campana High and Adolfo Camarillo High, boast impressive graduation rates over 93% and strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Meanwhile, the alternative schools under the Ventura County Office of Education struggle with very low proficiency, high chronic absenteeism, and low graduation rates, highlighting the challenges faced by students in these specialized settings.

The data also suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance, with the highest-poverty schools tending to have the lowest proficiency rates. However, the Pleasant Valley School District appears to be performing well overall, with multiple elementary and middle schools earning strong ratings from SchoolDigger.
