La Reina High School was a Catholic college preparatory for middle and high school girls founded in 1964. La Reina was an independent, private school serving students in Los Angeles and Ventura County.[8] Following drops in enrollment over the prior eight years, the school announced they were closing after the 2023–24 school year.[9] However, in April, a support group of alumni and parents secured potential funds to purchase Pinecrest Schools to set up La Reina Academy.[10] Unfortunately, after many failed efforts to increase enrollment in the new La Reina Academy program, the project fell through and La Reina officially closed.
