Summary

Cabrillo Middle serves 936 students in grades 6–8 in Ventura, within Ventura Unified. Its 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism rate was 11%, lower than the district’s 14%, the state’s 18% and every nearby school’s rate. The clearest takeaway is that Cabrillo led the nearby schools in all three tested subjects.

Cabrillo Middle’s 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 59% in English language arts, 47% in math and 40% in science.
