Summary

Camarillo Heights STEM Academy is a public elementary school serving 353 students in grades K-5 within the high-performing Pleasant Valley School District in Camarillo, CA, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top quarter of all California elementary schools.

The school's specialized STEM focus shows clear results, particularly in mathematics where its proficiency rate (54.55%) exceeds the district average, and in science where it outperforms several nearby schools like Rancho Rosal Elementary and Pleasant Valley School of Engineering and Arts. A standout success is a dramatic improvement in student attendance, with chronic absenteeism dropping to 7.7%, which is significantly better than both the district average and rates at comparable local schools. The school achieves these solid academic outcomes efficiently, spending less per student than some neighboring schools with similar or lower performance.

While the school maintains strong performance overall, there is some variability across grade levels, and recent data shows a need to strengthen support for specific student groups to regain previous higher achievement levels. Compared to top-tier district schools like La Mariposa, Camarillo Heights holds a solid mid-to-upper position, offering a focused curriculum that delivers notable strengths in math and science within its community.
