Among standout schools, Arthur E. Wright Middle is the top performer, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide with exceptional test scores. At the elementary level, Lupin Hill Elementary excels in math and science despite having a higher rate of students from lower-income families, while Bay Laurel Elementary has seen a notable recent drop in its statewide rank. Calabasas High boasts a strong 96.3% graduation rate, though its math proficiency is significantly lower than the district's middle schools.

The tiny Las Virgenes Independent school operates very differently, with high spending per student but limited comparable data.
