Summary

Township Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 521 students in the Simi Valley Unified district, and it stands out for achieving strong academic results while serving a community with a moderate level of economic need.

The school is on a clear upward trend, now rated 4 stars and performing above both district and state averages in all core subjects, with math being a particular strength. What's most impressive is how it compares to other local schools. For example, it significantly outperforms schools like Berylwood Elementary and Santa Susana Elementary, which serve student populations with greater economic challenges. Township also achieves math scores nearly as high as the more affluent Big Springs Elementary. Furthermore, the school has made outstanding progress in improving student attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism by more than half in recent years to a rate now better than the district and state.

Beyond test scores, Township shows remarkable effectiveness with students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide for this group. It also operates very efficiently, achieving these strong outcomes with per-student spending lower than several nearby schools like Santa Susana Elementary and Garden Grove Elementary. While Vista Elementary remains the top performer in the area, Township Elementary demonstrates that a school can deliver excellent and improving education for a diverse community through effective teaching and strong support systems.
