Summary

Sequoia Middle serves 798 students in grades 6–8 in Newbury Park, where families have several nearby middle schools to compare. In 2025–26, SchoolDigger ranked it 672nd of 2,703 California schools, at the 75th percentile with 4 stars. Its most important takeaway is that Sequoia scored above state proficiency levels in all three tested subjects, but below its district and nearby-school averages in every subject.

English language arts (ELA) is Sequoia’s strongest result relative to nearby schools, while science is its weakest. ELA proficiency was 58%—9 points above California, 8 below Conejo Valley Unified, and 3 below the nearby-school average. Math was 45% (7 points above the state, 11 below the district, and 4 below nearby schools); science was 42% (6 above the state, 12 below the district, and 5 below nearby schools). Among Sequoia and 10 nearby schools, it ranked 8th in ELA and math and 7th in science.

Results have fluctuated: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 2 percentage points, math was unchanged to the nearest point, and science rose 1 point. Chronic absenteeism improved by 7 points from 2021–22 to 14% in 2025–26—below the state’s 18% but above the district’s 11%. Sequoia’s reported student-teacher ratio was 19.6 in 2024–25, the lowest among nearby schools with data, compared with their average of 22.9. Its 2024–25 measure was 31% free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the nearby-school average of 33%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for English Language Learner Students, a measure of how well the school serves that group, fell from the 63rd percentile in 2021–22 to the 18th in 2023–24; Sequoia overall was at the 78th percentile that year. For Low Socio Economic Status Students, the 2025–26 ranking was at the 38th percentile, compared with 75th overall.

I am a graduate of Sequoia Middle School and loved it. Go Indians!!!!!! Close Quote

by a parent
Tuesday, February 10, 2009

They are not helpful in the least if your child doesn't fit into the cookie cutter mold of a "normal" child. My child has an extremely high IQ and ADHD. His grades are C's and D's and is now struggling behaviorally. I have had several meetings with the school as well as constant contact with most of his teachers and they are not willing to make any sort of accommodations or help him at all. They see nothing wrong with getting C's and D's as this is "passing". Also, a child can bully or physically harm another child and the school does nothing. But make sure you don't forget your red pen or toss a toy on the floor before school even starts! Major detention for that! I am planning on doing what several other parents have done who had similar situations. Pull him out and homeschool. Close Quote
