About schools in Ventura County

Twenty districts spanning coastal cities, inland valleys, and mountain-edge suburbs give Ventura County a genuinely varied public school landscape — from large urban systems in Oxnard and Ventura to smaller, tightly resourced districts around Camarillo and Oak Park. With 185 ranked schools and 45 placing in the top quartile statewide, strong options are spread across the county rather than concentrated in one corner. Camarillo Academy of Progressive Education and Oak Park High both sit at the 99th percentile, signaling that the county's highest performers are elite by any California measure. Families willing to look across district lines will find meaningful differences in school character, size, and outcomes.
