Summary

Bay Laurel Elementary is a well-regarded public school serving approximately 480 students in grades K-5 within the high-performing Las Virgenes Unified School District in Calabasas, consistently ranking in the top quartile of California elementary schools.

The school has a remarkable strength in student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.7% that is significantly lower than the district average and less than half the rate of most nearby schools like Lupin Hill Elementary and Chaparral Elementary. It also shows exceptional effectiveness in supporting its special education students, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide for that subgroup. While its overall test scores are solid and above state averages, they are generally a bit lower than some district peers, even though Bay Laurel spends slightly less per student than schools such as Round Meadow Elementary.

Performance varies notably by grade, with fifth graders excelling in English Language Arts while third graders face more challenges, and a consistent performance gap exists between female and male students. The school has demonstrated a strong recovery from pandemic disruptions, with sharp improvements in both attendance and academic proficiency. For families, Bay Laurel offers a stable, supportive environment with an outstanding attendance culture and particularly strong special education services, positioning it as a solid choice within a district full of excellent options.
