High Schools in Oxnard Union High

The Oxnard Union High School District encompasses 11 high schools serving students in the Oxnard, California area. These schools vary significantly in their academic performance, graduation rates, and student demographics. While some schools like Rancho Campana High School and Oxnard Middle College High School consistently rank among the top 5% of California high schools, others like Frontier High School struggle with low test scores and high dropout rates.

The data reveals substantial performance gaps between the top-performing and lower-performing schools in the district. For example, in 11th grade English Language Arts, Rancho Campana High School had an impressive 84.9% proficiency rate, while Frontier High School had just 6.84% proficiency. These disparities are often correlated with socioeconomic factors, as schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower academic performance.

The data also highlights the exceptional performance of specialized schools like Rancho Campana High School and Oxnard Middle College High School, which offer unique educational opportunities and consistently achieve outstanding results. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, which is a significant concern at some schools, should also be a priority for the district as it works to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
