Hueneme Elementary

Port Hueneme is a small, tight-knit coastal city tucked between Oxnard and the Pacific, with a strong military presence thanks to Naval Base Ventura County — and Hueneme Elementary reflects that working-class, community-rooted character. The school serves a predominantly Latino community and faces real academic challenges, with English and math scores in the lower percentiles, though its science performance shows more promise. Families who are deeply embedded in the local community and looking for a neighborhood school with a familiar, close-knit feel may find it a comfortable fit, particularly those connected to the base or long established in the area.
