Summary

Colina Middle School is a well-regarded public middle school serving about 830 students in grades 6-8 within the Conejo Valley Unified School District in Thousand Oaks, consistently earning a 4-star rating and performing above state averages in all core subjects.

When compared to nearby schools, Colina occupies a solid middle ground: it outperforms schools like Sequoia Middle and Hillside Middle academically, but trails behind top performers in the area such as Los Cerritos Middle and Medea Creek Middle. A notable strength for Colina is its science program, where its proficiency rate actually exceeds the district average, unlike other middle schools in Conejo Valley Unified.

An area for potential growth is student attendance, as Colina has the highest chronic absenteeism rate among its district peers, which is a key factor linked to academic success. The school's statewide ranking has also gradually declined over the past decade, and support for specific student groups, like English Language Learners, has shown significant year-to-year variation, indicating some inconsistency. Overall, Colina Middle provides a strong, above-average education but has clear opportunities to improve by addressing attendance and stabilizing support for all learners.
