Page "Oak Park, California" Paragraph 5

The community was initially served by the Simi Valley Unified School District, with the nearest post-elementary schools being Sinaloa Junior High ( about away ) and Royal High ( about 22 ( 35 km ) miles away ).

Since the Simi Valley Unified School District had no plans to build post-elementary schools in Oak Park, the residents seceded and formed Oak Park Unified School District in June 1977.

Oak Park High School opened for classes ( initially grades 6-12 ) in the spring of 1981.
