Summary

Mupu Elementary is a small, rural K-8 school serving 175 students in its own independent Mupu Elementary district in Santa Paula, offering a close-knit community with smaller class sizes.

The school has notable strengths, particularly in science where students outperform the state average, and it boasts an exceptionally low rate of chronic student absenteeism, which is less than half the state average and better than most nearby schools like Thelma Bedell Elementary and Mountain Vista. While English and math scores are close to state averages, a remarkable pattern shows students making strong progress in English Language Arts, with eighth graders scoring well above the state average. The school achieves these outcomes efficiently, spending less per student than other schools in the area while maintaining a favorable student-teacher ratio.

When compared to other local schools within the Santa Paula Unified district, Mupu often performs as well or better academically despite a similar student profile. Challenges include inconsistent math performance across different grade levels. Overall, Mupu provides a focused educational environment where students show strong attendance and significant academic growth, especially in the upper grades and in science.
