Summary

Lindero Canyon Middle serves 795 students in grades 6–8 in Agoura, California, with 10 other nearby middle schools included in the comparison. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were 63% in English Language Arts (ELA), 53% in math, and 44% in science. The most important finding for parents is that results are above California’s in all three subjects, but below the Las Virgenes Unified district average in all three.

Compared with the state, Lindero is ahead by 13 points in ELA, 15 in math, and 8 in science; compared with its district, it trails by 7, 8, and 8 points, respectively. Against nearby schools’ averages, Lindero is close in ELA (63% versus 64%), slightly ahead in math (53% versus 52%), and further behind in science (44% versus 51%). Among the 11 schools, it ranks sixth in ELA, seventh in math, and fifth in science. Its 8th-grade ELA result is a bright spot: 66%, higher than six nearby schools. Within Lindero, 6th-grade math is weaker at 50%, compared with 55% in 7th grade and 54% in 8th.

Results have shifted: since 2022–2023, ELA is down 5 points, math is up 7, and science is up 5; since 2023–2024, however, they have fallen by 7, 4, and 11 points, respectively. SchoolDigger gives Lindero 4 stars and an 82nd-percentile statewide ranking, down from the 90th percentile in 2023–2024. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 24.2, above the nearby-school average of 22.8. In 2024–2025, 29% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with 34% across nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also point to areas to ask about: its measure of how well Lindero serves Asian Students ranked at the 40th percentile, and for Multi-racial Students at the 43rd, compared with the school’s overall 82nd-percentile ranking; the latter group’s ranking fell from the 66th percentile in 2023–2024.
