Direct AnswerWest Hills families often target three schools: Pomelo Community Charter (a public LAUSD K-5 arts/sciences magnet charter in the West Hills area), El Camino Real Charter High School (a public independent charter, grades 9-12, located just over the line in Woodland Hills but serving the West Valley), and Chaminade College Preparatory (a private Catholic school - its HIGH SCHOOL is in West Hills and its MIDDLE SCHOOL is in Chatsworth). The West Hills median home price is $1,058,000 (canonical data.json).

Three schools come up again and again in West Hills home searches - one public charter elementary, one public charter high, and one private Catholic prep. Here is each one, accurately.

The three schools

  • Pomelo Community Charter - public LAUSD affiliated charter (also an Arts & Sciences Magnet), grades K-5, in the West Hills area. Admission for the magnet/charter follows LAUSD processes; confirm the attendance/enrollment path for your address.
  • El Camino Real Charter High School - public independent charter, grades 9-12 (~3,600 students). Its campus is at 5440 Valley Circle Blvd in Woodland Hills (91367) - it serves West Valley/West Hills families but is not physically located in West Hills.
  • Chaminade College Preparatory - private, coeducational Roman Catholic (Marianist) school, founded 1952. Its High School (9-12) is in West Hills (7500 Chaminade Ave) and its Middle School (6-8) is in Chatsworth (19800 Devonshire St). (Note: this is the opposite of how it's sometimes described - the high school is the West Hills campus.)
Charter and private schools admit by enrollment/application processes, not automatically by home address. "Near" a school is about commute and community - confirm the current enrollment path with each school before relying on it.
