Summary:
Zip code 91320 in Newbury Park, California, contains one public middle school, Sequoia Middle, which serves grades 6-8 within the Conejo Valley Unified School District.
Sequoia Middle is a large school of nearly 800 students that performs above California state averages in English, math, and science. However, its scores are consistently below the high averages of its own high-performing district. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, moving from a 4-star to a 3-star rating, which coincides with a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the district average.
Key patterns show math scores tend to drop as students progress through the grades, and 8th-grade English scores are notably lower than 7th grade. While the school spends over $15,700 per student, it maintains a student-teacher ratio near 20-to-1. For parents, this school represents a solid option that meets state benchmarks but shows room for growth to match the performance of other schools in the Conejo Valley Unified district.
