Summary:
ZIP code 91301 has one middle school, Lindero Canyon Middle, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 795 students. There is no second school in this list for a local comparison, so the area’s results are this school’s results. In 2025–2026, its proficiency was above California’s in English language arts (ELA), math and science, but below results in Las Virgenes Unified in all three subjects. The most important takeaway is that the school compares favorably with the state, while its district is a higher benchmark.
Because it is the only listed school, Lindero Canyon is both the area’s top and bottom school, rather than a leader or trailer among local schools. Its 2025–2026 proficiency was 63% in ELA, 53% in math and 44% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. That puts the school 13 percentage points above the state in ELA, 15 points above in math and 8 points above in science. It was below district results of 70% in ELA, 61% in math and 51% in science—by 7, 8 and 8 points, respectively. Within the school, ELA was strongest in grade 8 (66%), while math peaked in grade 7 (55%); every reported grade-level ELA and math result exceeded its state comparison.
Results declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA fell 2 percentage points, math 3 and science 1, while state results rose in each subject. The school remains above state results, but its advantage narrowed. SchoolDigger gives Lindero Canyon 4 stars and ranks it 490th of 2,703 California schools, in the 82nd percentile; its ranking was in the 90th percentile in 2023–2024. Chronic absenteeism was 12%, about the same as the district and below the state’s 18%. Other context includes a 24.2 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 29% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these figures describe the school and do not establish what explains its results.
