Summary:
Agoura, California is served by five public schools within the high-performing Las Virgenes Unified district, including one high school, one middle school, and three elementary schools, all of which consistently outperform state averages.
Among these schools, Willow Elementary stands out as the top performer, achieving the highest academic proficiency rates in English, math, and science despite having a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than some peers. Sumac Elementary has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate and receives the highest funding, while Mariposa School of Global Education offers a unique K-8 model but shows significant variation in performance between grade levels.
A clear trend across the district is that academic proficiency is strongest in elementary school and declines in the upper grades, though Agoura High maintains an excellent 96.2% graduation rate. Lindero Canyon Middle has shown strong recent performance. Overall, the schools form a cohesive and high-achieving group where factors like attendance and teaching quality appear highly influential on student success.
