School Overview

Tucked into the eastern end of Simi Valley, Santa Susana High is one of the stronger public high schools in Ventura County, with particularly sharp results in science that put it near the top of the state. Simi Valley has a reputation as a quieter, more suburban alternative to the San Fernando Valley just over the hill — the kind of place where families trade city density for good schools, lower traffic, and a strong sense of community. Families who prioritize rigorous academics in a relatively calm, residential setting tend to find Santa Susana a genuinely appealing fit.
