Golden West and Coastline community colleges are located within the city limits. Further educational opportunities are offered nearby at the University of Irvine, the California State Universities of Long Beach and Fullerton, and a number of private colleges. Our schools are the recipients of many state and national awards. In the last two years, a remarkable four Huntington Beach schools have received the prestigious National Blue Ribbon designation. For 2002-2003, Circle View Elementary and private Hebrew Academy in Huntington Beach earned the distinction. In 2001-2002, Isaac Sowers Middle School and Marine View. In the last few years, a remarkable number of Huntington Beach schools have also received California Distinguished School awards.

Peterson Elementary in the Huntington Beach City School District; and Westmont, Village View and College View in the Ocean View School District.
Four districts educate Huntington Beach elementary and middle school students: Huntington Beach City School District, Ocean View School District, Fountain Valley School District, and Westminster School District. The staff's high expectations for students and themselves are reflected in high performance levels and high test scores.
The Huntington Beach Union High School District oversees six high schools in the area, four located in Huntington Beach: Huntington Beach High School, Ocean View High School, Marina High School, and Edison High School. District wide, the Class of 2003 had over 3,000 graduates who experienced a rigorous level of preparation and were well prepared for future goals. Huntington Beach Union High School District makes it a priority to increase student participation in college admission testing, giving more students the opportunity to attend college and successfully meet their professional goals. For the Class of 2003, 55% of the graduates took the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Scores are soaring above California and national averages. A recent survey of graduating seniors indicated that 95% plan to earn a college degree. Recent graduates also earned scholarship offers of over seventeen million dollars. Our high quality schools are a major factor in preparing our youth for the workforce of the future. This district includes Edison High School, Huntington Beach High School, Marina High School, and Ocean View High School within the city; Fountain Valley High School in Fountain Valley, and Westminster High School in Westminster. The district also has two alternative schools, Valley Vista High School and the Community Day School, and an Independent Study School, Coast High School. The Huntington Beach Adult School is also a part of the district’s education system and has served the community for 38 years.
Huntington Beach is also home to two community colleges. The community colleges have a significant impact upon the local economy by further preparing Huntington Beach residents for higher education and the job market. The Coast Community College District (CCCD) serves the broader Huntington Beach area on three campuses. Golden West College was founded in 1966, and is proud to house the only nursing and police training programs in the District. Located in the northern part of Huntington Beach near the 405 Freeway, its innovative architecture and attractive landscaping define the 122-acre Golden West College campus. The college offers a wide range of career, transfer, certificate programs, and community service events. Services include counseling, financial aid, childcare, health center, and a nationally recognized disabled students program. A 350-seat theater, an art gallery, and a science museum provide cultural opportunities for students and the community. Community college students often complete Associate Arts Degrees, choose from a wide choice of training certificates, or fulfill their lower division credits before transferring to four-year universities.
