River Oaks Academy

River Oaks Academy is a K-12 charter school tucked into the affluent, master-planned community of Westlake Village, where the Santa Monica Mountains meet manicured lake views and a strong sense of civic pride. With math and science scores consistently placing it among California's top schools, it draws academically motivated families who want a more intentional, through-line education from kindergarten all the way to graduation — no awkward school transitions, just one tight-knit community. The surrounding area feels polished and family-friendly, with great outdoor access and a neighborhood vibe that tends to attract parents who are deeply involved in their kids' schooling.
