Summary:
The 91405 zip code area of Van Nuys, California is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. This diverse set of schools serves the local community, with varying levels of academic performance and student demographics.
Among the standout schools in the area is Lashon Academy, a public charter elementary/middle school that ranks in the top 25% of California elementary schools. Lashon Academy has significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the Los Angeles Unified district and state averages, as well as a low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.6%. In contrast, some schools like Valerio Street Elementary and Columbus Avenue Elementary struggle with very low proficiency rates, especially in Math.
The data also reveals high levels of economic disadvantage across the schools, with most having over 96% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by many of the schools. Addressing disparities in performance, attendance, and resource allocation will be critical to ensuring all students in this community have access to a high-quality education.
