Summary

Charles Blackstock Junior High is a public middle school serving about 1,240 students in grades 6-8 in Oxnard, operating within the Hueneme Elementary district, which is among the lower-performing districts in the state.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with student proficiency in English and, especially, math well below state averages; however, it performs slightly better than its own district average in English. A notable bright spot is student attendance: the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.3% is substantially better than the district and state averages and is lower than at most nearby schools, including the very similar E. O. Green Junior High (23.7%) in the same district. This suggests effective strategies for getting students to school.

When compared to other local schools, Charles Blackstock's academic results are typical for its demographic context but lag behind nearby "specialty" schools with similar student populations, such as the R.J. Frank Academy of Marine Science & Engineering. The school has more students per teacher and lower per-student spending than some comparable schools, like those in the Rio Elementary district. Its statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, indicating persistent systemic challenges alongside its relative strength in maintaining student attendance.
