Best Public Schools in Zip Code 93065

Zip code 93065 in Simi Valley, California, is home to 30 schools serving grades K-12, featuring a unique mix of 17 traditional Simi Valley Unified schools and 13 alternative/virtual schools that serve students across the state from a central location.

The traditional public schools show a wide range of performance, with top-rated elementary schools like Vista Elementary and Hollow Hills Elementary achieving high test scores and low chronic absenteeism, while others like Berylwood Elementary and Apollo High face significant academic challenges. The district's high schools, particularly Royal High, boast strong graduation rates above 95%, though the alternative Monte Vista also achieves a 92% graduation rate for at-risk students.

This area is also a major hub for online education, hosting numerous California Virtual Academy and Insight School campuses. These virtual schools, such as California Virtual Academy San Mateo, can perform competitively on tests but often have much higher student-teacher ratios and, in some cases like Insight School of California, lower graduation rates compared to their traditional counterparts, presenting a distinct set of trade-offs for families.
