Summary

Alice C. Stelle Middle is a well-regarded public school serving about 760 students in grades 6-8 within the high-performing Las Virgenes Unified district in Calabasas, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 86th percentile statewide for the 2024-2025 year.

Academically, the school reliably outperforms California averages, with over 62% of students proficient in English and 56% in Math, and it shows a strong pattern of student growth from 6th to 8th grade. A standout strength is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.1%, which is less than half the state average and significantly better than many nearby schools like Woodland Hills Academy (31.6%) and Northridge Middle (28.7%). The school also operates efficiently, achieving strong results with lower per-student spending than several neighboring schools with poorer outcomes.

While it is a top performer compared to most schools in other districts, it trails its district counterpart, Arthur E. Wright Middle, in academic proficiency. The school has shown solid recovery in Math and Science scores since the pandemic and is notably effective in supporting students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. For families, Alice C. Stelle represents a consistently strong choice with excellent attendance and efficient resource use, situated in a top-tier district.
