What Are the Exact Wildwood Elementary School Boundaries and District Alignment?
Wildwood Elementary sits at 620 West Velarde Drive, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360, within the Conejo Valley Unified School District. Published attendance boundaries are a reference only; before you write an offer on a specific address, confirm the assigned school with the district.
Wildwood is a section of Thousand Oaks made up of several neighborhoods, including Wildwood, Wildflower, Parkhills and Cresta Montanosa. Wildwood Regional Park borders the back of these neighborhoods and gives the area its name, with direct access to Paradise Falls, volcanic rock formations and miles of trails, which makes this one of the most outdoorsy parts of town.
Thousand Oaks elementaries are generally good, but this is where variation within CVUSD shows up most. Some neighborhoods feed stronger schools than others, which is normal in a district this size, and it is worth checking before you compare two homes at similar prices.
How Do School Ratings Impact Home Values in CVUSD Districts?
School assignment is one of the clearer drivers of price differences within CVUSD. The district covers Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park and the Ventura County side of Westlake Village, and it is the largest of the three Conejo Valley districts. The Westlake Village and Lang Ranch schools are among the most sought-after in the district, while other parts of Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park are still good but worth researching before buying.
Lang Ranch is the only part of Thousand Oaks that feeds into Westlake High School, which makes it popular with buyers who want Thousand Oaks pricing with Westlake High access. It is a good illustration of how an attendance boundary, not just the city line, shapes buyer competition.
Most CVUSD schools rank very good to excellent, but with 17 elementary schools, quality varies by neighborhood. The district is also home to Westlake High School, which many local parents and agents consider the strongest overall high school in the Conejo Valley, and that reputation alone draws buyers into the district.
Which Thousand Oaks Neighborhoods Have the Strongest School-to-Home Value Correlation?
A few areas stand out. The Westlake Village elementaries within CVUSD are among the most sought-after in the district, so if you're buying on the Ventura County side of Westlake Village, you're in good shape at the elementary level.
Westlake Elementary (Overall 9/10, Test Scores 10/10) serves central Westlake Village neighborhoods such as Foxmoor Homes and Westlake Bay Townhomes, while Westlake Hills Elementary (Overall 9/10, Test Scores 9/10) serves the hillside neighborhoods above the lake. Both are highly regarded, with active parent communities and consistently strong test scores.

Lang Ranch is known for highly rated CVUSD schools, well-kept neighborhoods and strong resale value, and as noted above, its assigned high school is Westlake High rather than Thousand Oaks High.
Thousand Oaks High School (Overall 8/10, Test 7/10) serves many central Thousand Oaks neighborhoods, including Wildwood and Lynn Ranch. It's a very good high school that sometimes gets overshadowed because Westlake High draws so much of the local attention. For Wildwood buyers, this is the relevant high school, so weigh it alongside the elementary.
Frequently Asked Questions About Wildwood Elementary and Home Values
What makes Wildwood Elementary homes more expensive than other Thousand Oaks areas?
Wildwood Elementary ranks in the top 5% of California schools (#402 out of 9,523), with 72% to 77% math proficiency and 80% to 84% reading proficiency depending on the source, and it was named a 2025 California Distinguished School. That record, combined with direct access to Wildwood Regional Park, Paradise Falls and miles of trails, keeps demand steady and supports higher prices than much of central Thousand Oaks.
How do I verify which elementary school serves a specific Wildwood address?
Published boundaries are a reference only. Because elementary assignments vary across parts of Thousand Oaks, confirm the assigned school for the exact address before you write an offer. Wildwood Elementary can be reached at (805) 492-3531 for boundary verification.
What's the difference in home values between Wildwood Elementary and other CVUSD schools?
As of late 2025, the Wildwood neighborhood showed a median sale price of $1,025,000, up 2.6% year over year, while central Thousand Oaks showed a median of $823K, down 8.7% from the prior year. School assignment is not the only reason for that gap (lot size, age of housing stock and park access all play a role), but across CVUSD the areas with the most sought-after schools, including Westlake Village and Lang Ranch, tend to command a premium.
Can I apply for school choice within CVUSD if I buy outside Wildwood boundaries?
Yes. CVUSD opens enrollment each fall for both neighborhood school enrollment and the School Choice Application (the window for the 2027-2028 school year opens in early November 2026, following the same pattern as prior years, so expect a similar timeline each year). Transfers depend on space, and two things have to happen: your assigned school has to let you out, and the school you want has to let you in. If a specific school is the priority, buying inside its boundary is usually the safer path. Check the current CVUSD enrollment calendar for exact dates.
