Westlake Village is one of the trickiest school markets in the region because two unified districts — Conejo Valley Unified (CVUSD) and Las Virgenes Unified (LVUSD) — both serve parts of the city, and the boundary line cuts through unpredictably.
Two districts, one city
Westlake Village sits across the Ventura–Los Angeles county line, and its schools follow suit:
- Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) — serves most of the Ventura County side of Westlake Village; headquartered in Thousand Oaks.
- Las Virgenes Unified School District (LVUSD) — serves the LA County side, Lake Sherwood, and some hillside addresses; headquartered in Calabasas.
The practical takeaway: the district your home belongs to is determined by its exact parcel, not by the “Westlake Village” mailing address. This is the single most important school fact for buyers here.
Schools you may encounter
On the CVUSD side, families commonly reference Westlake, White Oak, Sumac, and Lang Ranch elementary schools, Colina Middle School, and Westlake High School. On the LVUSD side, you may see A.E. Wright Middle School (which borders Calabasas), Agoura High School, and Calabasas High School. Several of these names sit close to the boundary, which is exactly why two homes on nearby streets can feed different schools.
For a deeper dive on the LVUSD side specifically, see our Las Virgenes Unified buyer’s guide.
Lake Sherwood and the hillside addresses
Lake Sherwood and several hillside pockets typically fall on the LVUSD side, though some Sherwood addresses are CVUSD — another reason to verify rather than assume. For luxury and estate buyers in particular, confirming the school assignment by parcel is part of the same due-diligence pass as confirming the CAL FIRE hazard zone and the country-club membership structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Westlake Village in CVUSD or LVUSD?
Both, depending on the exact address. Most of the Ventura County side is CVUSD; the LA County side, Lake Sherwood, and some hillside addresses are LVUSD. Verify per parcel.
Why do two nearby homes feed different schools?
Because the CVUSD/LVUSD boundary line runs through Westlake Village rather than around it. Attendance is set by parcel, so the line can separate adjacent streets.
What high school serves Westlake Village?
On the CVUSD side, Westlake High; on the LVUSD side, Agoura High or Calabasas High. The correct answer depends entirely on the home’s address — confirm with the district.
How do I confirm a specific home’s schools?
Use each district’s official attendance-boundary tool and the California School Dashboard for current performance. Brian can run this check by address as part of your search.
Does Brian have a Westlake Village office?
No — the team serves the Conejo Valley from its Simi Valley headquarters, but Brian personally handles Westlake comps, by-address school checks, and negotiation.
