Summary

Yerba Buena Elementary is a well-regarded public school serving about 370 students in grades K-5 within the high-performing Las Virgenes Unified School District in Agoura Hills, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking above 84% of elementary schools statewide.

Academically, the school's students perform strongly, with over 71% proficient in English and 62% in math, significantly outpacing state averages. A key strength is the school's exceptional effectiveness with specific student groups; for instance, its Hispanic students and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds rank in the 94th and 87th percentiles statewide, respectively. While solid, its overall scores are slightly below some district peers like Willow Elementary and White Oak Elementary, and notably below top-tier neighbors like Meadows Arts and Technology Elementary (99th percentile) and Red Oak Elementary (95th percentile).

The school has successfully managed post-pandemic attendance challenges, reducing chronic absenteeism from 18% to 8%. Areas for attention include a noticeable drop in 5th-grade math proficiency, a persistent performance gap between female and male students, and optimizing its per-student spending, which is higher than some higher-achieving schools. Overall, Yerba Buena is a strong community school that excels in supporting diverse learners within a top-tier district.
