Summary

Wood Ranch Elementary is a well-regarded K-6 public school serving 452 students in Simi Valley, part of the Simi Valley Unified district, known for its consistent academic performance above state averages.

The school stands out for its strong math scores, which are significantly higher than both district and state levels, and for effectively managing student attendance with a chronic absenteeism rate better than many peers like Park View Elementary and Arroyo Elementary. It achieves these solid results, ranking in the 71st percentile statewide, while operating with efficient per-student spending compared to other schools in the area. Within its own district, it is a high performer, second only to Hollow Hills Elementary.

Parents should note that while Wood Ranch is a strong choice, it operates in a competitive landscape with some exceptionally high-performing schools in neighboring districts, such as Lang Ranch and Meadows Arts and Technology Elementary. The school has shown stable performance over time but has identified science as a subject where there is room for growth compared to its top scores in English and Math.
