Summary
Sumac Elementary serves 360 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Agoura, in the Las Virgenes Unified district. In 2025–26, Sumac’s proficiency rates were above California’s in English language arts (ELA), math and science by 7, 16 and 10 percentage points, respectively, but below the district’s by 14, 7 and 6 points. The main takeaway is that Sumac clears state benchmarks but trails its district and nearby K–5 schools, especially in ELA and math.
Compared with eight nearby K–5 schools with test results, Sumac had the lowest ELA and math proficiency rates: 56% and 54%, versus peer averages of 76% and 73%. Its science rate was 46%, also 19 points below the peer average, and nearly tied with Westlake Hills Elementary for the lowest result. Math is Sumac’s strongest subject relative to the state, while science is closest to the district rate. A notable grade-level concern is third-grade math: 45%, compared with 47% statewide and 71% districtwide. Fifth-grade ELA was stronger at 65%, though still below nearby schools.
Results have changed unevenly: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 17 points, math edged up 1 point and science declined 6 points; Sumac’s lead over the state narrowed in all three subjects. SchoolDigger gives Sumac a 2025–26 statewide percentile of 73 and 4 stars, the lowest percentile among these nearby K–5 schools. Its student–teacher ratio was 23.2 in 2024–25, near the peer average of 23.7, and chronic absenteeism was 5% in 2025–26, below the district’s 12%. In 2024–25, 35.8% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, slightly above Lupin Hill Elementary at 34.9%. One notable subgroup trend: SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for how well Sumac serves White Students fell from 93 in 2023–24 to 62 in 2024–25; that year, it was 20 points below Sumac’s overall percentile of 82.
