Las Virgenes Independent is a small alternative school in Calabasas serving kindergarten through eighth grade. It operates as part of Las Virgenes Unified School District and enrolls roughly students across its grade span, with notably most students concentrated in the upper middle grades.
The school's enrollment reflects the broader affluence of Calabasas. The community is a wealthy, hillside suburb in the northwest corner of Los Angeles County, nestled in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains. Housing values in the area are high, and the city is known as one of California's most affluent residential communities, with a predominantly single-family, lower-density character outside its small downtown core. This economic context shapes the family profile: a substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting economic diversity within the school despite the surrounding community's overall wealth.
The school's racial and ethnic composition is predominantly white, with smaller representations of Asian, multiracial, Hispanic, and Black students. Data on special education enrollment and English learner status was not available, so a parent may want to ask the school directly about those populations if relevant to their needs.
State assessment data for Las Virgenes Independent is largely suppressed or missing. Test results for fourth and fifth grade in both math and English language arts are suppressed, likely due to small cohort size. Results for sixth, seventh, and eighth grade in both subjects, as well as science testing, are not reported. This pattern reflects the school's very small enrollment. Without accessible proficiency data, state test results cannot be used to evaluate academic performance here. A parent evaluating the school should request direct information about student outcomes, curriculum approach, and teaching methodology from the school itself.
As an alternative school, Las Virgenes Independent likely serves a specific educational philosophy or population need. The school offers a course catalog available on its website. Parents considering enrollment should visit the school, review its curriculum materials, and understand its educational approach and how it differs from the conventional programs available at other district schools.
Calabasas itself is a built-out community with most future development taking the form of infill and mixed-use redevelopment rather than new growth. The city anchors daily life around its Civic Center, which includes the library and an amphitheater, and Old Town, a walkable historic district. However, much of the city is car-dependent and sprawling, with few sidewalks outside these cores. The surrounding area offers extensive parks and hiking trails in the Santa Monica Mountains.
Las Virgenes Unified passed Measure S, a facilities bond, in 2022, which funds modernization projects across 14 campuses through a future year, replacing an expiring earlier bond at the same property tax rate. This provides certainty about campus infrastructure improvements ahead.
