Summary:
The Las Virgenes Unified School District is home to 10 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The district as a whole is highly ranked, placing 165 out of 1,568 school districts in California and earning a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Within the district, a few schools stand out as top performers. Willow Elementary and White Oak Elementary both earn 5-star ratings and rank among the top 374 and 335 schools in the state, respectively. These schools excel in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with proficiency rates well above the district and state averages. Chaparral Elementary and Round Meadow Elementary also demonstrate strong academic performance, ranking in the top 831 and 601 schools in California and earning 4-star ratings.
However, the district also exhibits variability in student outcomes, with some schools struggling to meet state standards. Factors such as chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.7% to 23.4%, and free and reduced-price lunch rates, from 16.17% to 51.22%, may contribute to these disparities. The inclusion of a virtual school, Las Virgenes Independent, also provides an alternative educational option within the district, though its performance lags behind the traditional brick-and-mortar schools.
