What this school's NCES data tells you
Maple Elementary reports 181 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 17.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 14.1:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 35% below the California state mean of 21.6:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 11% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.

The free-lunch share is 28% below the California average and 23% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 905 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 38.7% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Conejo Valley Unified spends $15,563 per pupil district-wide, below the California average of $18,039 and below the national average of $19,490.
