Summary

Chaparral Elementary is a high-performing public school serving about 614 students in grades K-5 within the affluent community of Calabasas, part of the strong Las Virgenes Unified district.

Academically, Chaparral consistently outperforms state averages, with over 70% of students proficient in English and 66% in math, earning it a 4-star rating that places it in the 87th percentile of all California elementary schools. What truly sets the school apart is its exceptional effectiveness in supporting specific student groups, such as those from low socioeconomic backgrounds or in special education, often ranking in the 90th percentile or higher for these subgroups. Furthermore, the school maintains a remarkably positive attendance culture, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.9%, which is less than half the state average.

When compared to nearby schools like Bay Laurel Elementary or Round Meadow Elementary in the same district, Chaparral achieves similar excellent results while operating with significantly lower per-student spending, indicating very efficient use of resources. While some local charter schools, such as Topanga Elementary Charter, may have higher raw test scores, Chaparral distinguishes itself through its consistent, equitable performance and stable environment within its high-achieving district.
