Summary

Madrona Academy of the Arts and Sciences is a public K-5 elementary school with about 245 students in the Conejo Valley Unified district in Thousand Oaks, showing recent positive momentum in areas like attendance but with academic performance that currently lags behind many neighboring schools.

The school has made a remarkable turnaround in student attendance, reducing chronic absenteeism from 22.9% to 7.1% in just two years—a rate now better than the district average and many higher-performing schools like Wildwood Elementary and Aspen Elementary. However, this strong improvement has not yet fully translated to test scores; proficiency in English, math, and science remains below the district average and notably behind top local schools such as Meadows Arts and Technology Elementary and Env Academy of Research Technical and Earth Scis.

Madrona Academy operates with a low student-teacher ratio and spends more per student than any other school in its district, which may support its recent gains. While its statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, the latest data shows encouraging improvements for some student groups and a rising overall ranking, suggesting the school could be at a turning point as it works to align its resources and specialized arts and sciences focus with stronger academic outcomes.
