Santa Barbara County Community, Santa Barbara County Juvenile Court and Santa Barbara County Special Education share this address in the state’s school directory. The California School Campus Database maps the grounds as one campus. Which buildings each school uses here isn’t mapped.

Drawn from OpenStreetMap, inside the campus outline from the California School Campus Database (2025). Volunteers map it, so a new building may be missing. Buildings with no mapped height are drawn one storey high.

A picture of the campus, not an attendance boundary or a rating.

Schools maintain a closed campus policy. For students’ safety, visitors may enter a campus only with the school’s official permission; this drawing implies no permission to enter.

Students come here by referral or placement rather than choosing among schools, so we publish its results without a rating.

The hatched block marks years with no comparable state test results. Each spring tests a different group of students. Between 12 and 28 students were tested here each year in each subject. With 12 students, one student is 8 points, so each year is a dot and no line joins them. Source: California Department of Education, state tests (CAASPP).

The top two levels were called Met or Exceeded before 2026 and are called Proficient or Advanced now.
