School Overview

Nestled in Oxnard's south side, Lopez Academy draws families who want a middle school experience with a creative edge — the arts and sciences focus gives students something to latch onto during those sometimes-turbulent middle school years. The school serves a tight-knit, working-class community close to the coast, where the laid-back Ventura County beach culture mixes with a strong Latino heritage that shapes much of daily life here. Families who are actively involved in their kids' education and looking for a school with a distinct identity rather than a generic middle school experience will find Lopez worth a closer look.
