Summary:
Four elementary schools, primarily serving grades K-5, operate within the high-performing Las Virgenes Unified district in the Agoura/Agoura Hills area (91301), all significantly exceeding California state averages in test scores and maintaining notably low chronic absenteeism rates.
Willow Elementary stands out as the top academic performer in the group, leading in English, math, and science proficiency while spending the least per student. Yerba Buena Elementary and Sumac Elementary also post strong results, with Sumac having the very best attendance rate. The unique Mariposa School of Global Education is a K-8 school with lower overall scores that show marked improvement in its middle school grades.
An interesting pattern across the three K-5 schools is a noticeable drop in math proficiency in 5th grade compared to earlier grades, which may be worth exploring. While all schools are excellent choices, parents should note there is variation within the district, with the widest gap seen in math performance. The shared address for Mariposa and Sumac may indicate a shared campus or require data verification.
