Summary

Canoga Park Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 462 students in a high-need community within the Los Angeles Unified district, where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools with proficiency rates in English and math far below the state average; this performance has declined over the past decade despite the school spending over $30,000 per student, which is more than many nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism, while improved from pandemic highs, remains an issue at 21%, and the school shows particular difficulty in supporting English Language Learners and students in special education.

Interesting comparisons with nearby schools highlight that different approaches can yield better results: Village Charter Academy, less than a mile away, serves a similar student population but achieves proficiency rates nearly three times higher while spending 37% less per student, and Capistrano Avenue Elementary, also in LAUSD, ranks in the top quartile of state schools. This suggests that for families in the area, examining the practices and outcomes of these neighboring schools could provide important context when considering educational options.
