Summary

La Mariposa is a K–5 elementary school in Camarillo, California, serving 601 students in the Pleasant Valley School District. Its 2025–26 results are well above district and state averages, and it stands out among nearby schools with the same grade span. Most importantly, La Mariposa has the highest all-grades proficiency results among the five nearby K–5 schools in ELA, math, and science.

Math is La Mariposa’s strongest subject relative to its benchmarks, while ELA is its weakest, though results are high across all three. In 2025–26, proficiency was 79% in ELA, 77% in math, and 70% in science—about 30, 39, and 34 points above state results, respectively, and 19, 28, and 25 points above district results. Compared with the five nearby K–5 schools’ averages, La Mariposa was ahead by 23 points in ELA, 27 in math, and 27 in science. Among all nearby schools reporting results, only Sycamore Canyon scored higher overall, and its results were close: 83% in ELA, 79% in math, and 71% in science.

Results have risen overall since 2022–23, although not every year: science gained 10 points, ELA 4, and math 2. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 11.3% in 2021–22 to 3.1% in 2025–26, below the district’s 7.4% and state’s 18.3%. SchoolDigger rated La Mariposa in the 94th percentile with 5 stars in 2025–26; Sycamore Canyon ranked higher nearby, at the 98th percentile. La Mariposa’s 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 23.1, near the middle of the nearby range. Its 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible share was 28%. One subgroup result merits attention: SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Asian Students was at the 70th percentile in 2024–25, down from the 95th percentile the year before, while the overall school ranking stayed at the 95th percentile.
