Ramona Elementary

Ramona Elementary sits in Oxnard, a coastal working-class city in Ventura County where the cost of living is more manageable than much of Southern California, but the academic challenges are real — this school ranks near the bottom of the state in English, math, and science. Families living in the surrounding neighborhood tend to be deeply community-rooted, and the school may be a good fit for those who are active in their child's education and willing to supplement at home. For families prioritizing academic outcomes, it's worth exploring additional options within the Oxnard district or nearby communities like Camarillo or Thousand Oaks.
