Summary:
This analysis covers the single elementary school, Mupu Elementary, serving grades K-8 in the rural Mupu Elementary district near Santa Paula.
Mupu Elementary shows clear academic strengths, particularly in science where student proficiency significantly outpaces the California state average, and in English for its middle school grades. The school also fosters an excellent attendance culture, with a chronic absenteeism rate less than half the state average. However, performance is uneven across grades, with notable challenges in early elementary reading and middle-grade mathematics that present opportunities for targeted support.
While the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, it continues to outperform state averages in key subjects. With moderate economic need among its students, the school's lower per-student spending compared to some peers makes its areas of strong performance and exceptional attendance noteworthy. For families, the school offers a small, close-knit environment with demonstrable success in building science skills and keeping students engaged and present.
