Summary

Hueneme High is a large public high school serving grades 9-12 with about 1,913 students in Oxnard, California, operating within the Oxnard Union High district and facing significant academic challenges alongside a high rate of student poverty.

Academically, the school is struggling, with its statewide ranking falling to the 29th percentile and proficiency rates in math (9.4%) and science (14.4%) that are notably lower than both the district and state averages. These scores are also substantially below those of nearby schools like Rio Mesa High and Oxnard High. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, with 30.1% of students missing too much school, a rate higher than most district peers. Performance varies widely for different student groups; support for English Language Learners has been relatively effective, but outcomes for students in special education have declined dramatically.

Despite these deep academic difficulties, Hueneme High achieves a strong 91.4% graduation rate, which exceeds the state average. This suggests the school has systems to help students complete their diplomas even if they fall behind. The school's student-teacher ratio is favorable, and it serves a community with very high economic need, with over 91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. For context, the exceptional performance of the nearby Oxnard Middle College High presents a stark contrast within the same area.
