High Schools in Moorpark Unified

Moorpark Unified has two high schools serving grades 9–12: Moorpark High and The High School at Moorpark College. In 2025–26, both were above state proficiency rates in all three subjects, but their results differed substantially: the school-to-school gaps were 28 points in English language arts (ELA), 17 in math and 29 in science.

The High School at Moorpark College had the highest proficiency in each subject, with 89% in ELA, 68% in math and 76% in science. Moorpark High was lower in each, at 61%, 50% and 47%, respectively, but still exceeded state rates by 12 points in ELA, 12 in math and 11 in science. SchoolDigger ranked the college-based school 40th of 2,137 statewide, at the 98th percentile with five stars; Moorpark High ranked 422nd, at the 80th percentile with four stars.

Recent proficiency trends were mixed: the two-school ELA average fell 7 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, the math average was nearly unchanged, and the science average rose 5 points. Compared with the state, the group’s advantage narrowed in ELA and math but widened by 2 points in science. The schools also differ in size and reported income measures: Moorpark High has 1,691 students, a 24:1 student-teacher ratio and 37% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; the college-based school has 121 students, a 30.7:1 ratio and 13% eligible that year. Despite its lower test results, Moorpark High had the higher 2025–26 graduation rate, 97% versus 96%; chronic absenteeism was similar at 13% and 12%. Results at the smaller school may be more sensitive to small numbers, and both schools’ 12th-grade science results are suppressed.
