About

Lemon Grove School opened its doors in the Fall 2021 semester. This new TK-8 school in the heart of Ventura, was formerly the site of Blanche Reynolds Elementary.  Responding to the need of parents for a school in the mid-town area that serves a TK-8 population, VUSD quickly determined that this site, nestled in a quiet neighborhood adjacent to a local park, would be the perfect location.


To Enroll

We are currently enrolling for the Fall 2023 term. Here are the various ways to enroll:

  • If you are a current VUSD family, you must contact your current boundary school to request an intradistrict transfer application so you may be released from your current boundary school.
     
  • If you are new to VUSD or a returning “inactive” student AND you live in the school boundary area for Sunset or Lemon Grove (currently Blanche Reynolds), you may apply to both using our online enrollment application. Families should contact the school directly after applying online to ensure the school site received their online enrollment information.
     
  • If you are new to VUSD or a returning “inactive” student AND you live outside the VUSD boundary area for Lemon Grove (currently Blanche Reynolds) but still within the VUSD boundary area for the District, you must contact your current boundary school to request an intradistrict transfer application so you may be released from your current boundary school.
     
  • If you live outside of the VUSD district boundary area, you must first contact your current district to be released, and then you may apply for an interdistrict transfer.  Once the paperwork is complete, we recommend contacting the school to ensure they have received your information.

 For additional questions on transfers or the enrollment process please contact Student Support Services at 805-641-5000 x1103.


Lemon Grove School- Middle School Option

Middle school students will benefit from a smaller school setting with rigorous academic expectations and an engaging learning community.  The core team of middle school teachers ensures each student and their needs will be individually known.  Students will have opportunities to serve in leadership roles on campus each week as leaders during Phoenix Friday for their TK-5th buddies.  Students participate in a variety of electives such as Agriculture and Culinary.

Playground Rebuild

The playground at Lemon Grove was rebuilt in 2021 and our students love it!  Our beloved Rainbow Bridge wood structure that was lovingly built by many in our community has been used to its fullest (25 years worth).  While we are sad to see this beloved structure go we are thrilled at the new accessible playground our students have to play on for the next 25 years!
