Summary

Tierra Linda Elementary is a consistently strong, 4-star rated public school serving about 500 students in grades K-5 within the Pleasant Valley district in Camarillo, known for its balanced academic performance and efficient use of resources.

The school excels across all core subjects, with student proficiency in math and English notably above state averages, and its science scores are particularly impressive compared to many local peers. It stands out for its effective support of all students, achieving high statewide rankings for Hispanic students and those in special education. A key strength is its very low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.4%, which is better than the district average and contributes to a stable learning environment. While the nearby school La Mariposa ranks higher, Tierra Linda demonstrates remarkable consistency, maintaining its high rating for over a decade and showing excellent academic growth from third to fifth grade.

Interesting comparisons within the district include Las Posas Elementary achieving similar math scores with a different student population, and Camarillo Heights STEM Academy having a STEM focus but lower proficiency in science and math than Tierra Linda. The school operates with a lower per-student spending than some comparable schools but delivers strong results, making it a model of effective and balanced education in the area.

Special ed teacher and staff are in desperate need of training. Their lack of training makes it unsafe. Our son left the school in a gurney! We absolutely Do Not recommend! Close Quote

My daughter went to this school last year. Talk about a horrible school. The school displayed racist behavior to one of my daughters classmates/friends. The teacher was horrible to her. One time the teacher asked in a very loud voice, "-----, did you brush your teeth today?!". Even my daughter was embarrassed for her friend. Also, this entire school district has issues with racism. I have heard and seen this many times. Why oh why would I want my daughter to be shown this kind of behavior from her teachers? (I know my daughter is smarter than this, but I am not supporting some school district that is as ignorant as this.) Also, the school district had a common idea that they should not allow the CHILDREN to go to the bathroom unless it was lunch, recess or between any classes. Hello, have they ever spoken with any Doctors about this? My daughter didn't even tell me about this one. I learned this from another parent, and then some more parents when I inquired. I then inquired to the principal and she stated that this was their policy. Also, their was no shade at this school. This is why I moved out of this district. Close Quote
