Summary:

The 93001 zip code in Ventura, California, is served by eight public schools—five elementary, two middle, and one high school—enrolling over 5,000 students, primarily within the Ventura Unified district.

Academic performance varies significantly across these schools. Pierpont Elementary and Cabrillo Middle are standout performers with strong test scores, while Sheridan Way Elementary and E. P. Foster Elementary face considerable academic challenges. The independent Ventura Charter School also performs well, often with more efficient spending per student than district schools.

Notable patterns include a strong correlation between economic disadvantage and lower test scores, and a concerning performance gap at Ventura High, which has an excellent 97% graduation rate but alarmingly low math and science proficiency. Schools with higher rates of chronic absenteeism, like Lincoln Elementary, tend to have lower rankings, highlighting attendance as a key factor for success.
