While Westlake Elementary outperforms most of the nearby schools in the Conejo Valley Unified School District, including Glenwood Elementary, Acacia Magnet School for Enriched Learning, and Madrona Elementary, the school lags behind some high-performing schools in neighboring districts, such as Red Oak Elementary in the Oak Park Unified School District and Yerba Buena Elementary in the Las Virgenes Unified School District. The school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 6.26% to 11.86% in recent years, suggests a more affluent student population, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE MY REVIEW, I am really sad and disgusted by Westlake Elementary School and their injustice and discrimination. It is truly disturbing to see favoritism, racism and inequality is still affecting the new generations to come. If you are planning to send your kid to this school and you are a minority due to your race or religion please think twice. There is nothing Wise about these Wizards! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
