Summary

El Camino High is a small public high school serving grades 9–12 in Ventura, California, within Ventura Unified; it enrolls 221 students. In 2025–2026, its graduation rate was 100%, compared with 96% in the district and 88% statewide, while chronic absenteeism had risen to 19% from 13% in 2023–2024. The clearest academic finding is a sharp subject split: ELA is a standout, while math proficiency remains below state and district results.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools and broader benchmarks: 75% of students were proficient, versus 49% statewide, 48% in the district, and a 45% nearby-school average. That placed El Camino High second among 10 nearby schools with reported scores, behind Foothill Technology High. Science was also strong at 41%, above the state’s 36% and district’s 31%, and second among the 10 schools. Math is the main weakness: 29% were proficient, below the state’s 38% and district’s 36%, though above the nearby-school average of 24%; the school ranked fourth of 10.

Scores have fallen from earlier highs: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA declined 12 points, math 17, and science 20. The math comparison changed most sharply, from 11 points above the state to 10 points below it. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 71st percentile with four stars, down from the 94th percentile and five stars in 2022–2023, though it remains second-highest among nearby schools with a current ranking. Context includes a 30.4 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025—the highest among nearby schools with reported ratios—and 38% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools reporting that same measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Female Students was at the 43rd percentile, 28 points below the school’s overall percentile and down 38 points from the prior year; its Hispanic Students ranking was at the 60th percentile, down 27 points from the prior year.
