ranked #466 statewide · #3 of 11 in Oxnard Union High

Adolfo Camarillo High scores 56 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 78th percentile of 2,160 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →

🌱 Building Momentum — This label means the data doesn't clearly sort the school one way or the other — ask what the school is proud of, and what it's working on.

Most rating sites would stop at “45% proficient” and call it done. Adolfo Camarillo deserves a closer read. The school sits in Camarillo, where two in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Worth a school visit

Ask how the school challenges kids who clear the standard early. The gap between meeting and exceeding is where pacing shows.

  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
  • Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
  • Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
  • Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.

What gets spent here

Per-pupil spendingPer-pupil spending: $18,071, CA average $14,815$18,071 · spent at this school

These measure different things: this figure is spending attributed to this campus, while district-wide figures also include central administration, districtwide programs, and the state's pension contributions made on the district's behalf — costs that never get assigned to a single school. The district number runs higher at nearly every school, not just this one.

$1,267 per student arrives as federal Title funding — a measure of concentrated need, not school quality.
