Summary

Bay Laurel Elementary is a K–5 school in Calabasas, serving 480 students in the Las Virgenes Unified area. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates exceeded California’s averages in English Language Arts (ELA), math, and science, but the school’s overall results were below the average for nearby K–5 peers in all three subjects. The clearest concern is science: Bay Laurel scored below every one of the eight nearby schools with comparable results.

Math is Bay Laurel’s strongest subject relative to the state and district: 61% met proficiency, 23 percentage points above the state and essentially level with the district. ELA proficiency was 61%, 12 points above the state but 9 points below the district. Science was 41%, just 5 points above the state and 11 points below the district. Compared with nearby peers, Bay Laurel was below the average by 3 points in math and 5 in ELA, and by 18 points in science. Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 6% in 2025–26, compared with 12% in the district and 18% statewide; only Chaparral Elementary had a lower rate among the eight peers.

Math proficiency rose steadily, from 52% in 2022–23 to 61% in 2025–26, while ELA edged up from 60% to 61% and science fell from 44% to 41%. SchoolDigger ranks Bay Laurel at 1,210 of 5,804 California schools, in the 79th percentile, with 4 stars; six of its eight nearby schools with same-year rankings were higher. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 24, compared with a peer average of 23.4. The school reported that 18% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, versus a peer average of 32%. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also show a notable difference by student group: White Students ranked at the 46th percentile in 2025–26, compared with 79th overall, while Low Socio Economic Status Students ranked at the 89th percentile, 10 points above the school overall.
