Summary:
The Simi Valley Unified school district operates four public high schools (grades 9-12) serving over 4,800 students in the suburban Simi Valley area, with overall graduation rates well above the state average.
Among these schools, Santa Susana High stands out as a top performer, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide with exceptional graduation rates and the highest test scores in English, math, and science. Simi Valley High and Royal High are mid-sized schools with solid graduation rates but show room for growth, particularly in mathematics proficiency where they fall below the district average.
A significant performance gap exists within the district, as Apollo High faces considerable challenges with very low test scores and a high dropout rate, despite having the highest per-student funding and smallest class sizes. Parents should note that while the district excels at graduating students, academic proficiency, especially in math, varies widely between schools, with Santa Susana consistently leading and Apollo struggling significantly.
