Summary

Delevan Drive Elementary is a high-performing K-6 public school serving 483 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, consistently ranking in the top 15-20% of all California elementary schools.

The school stands out for its exceptional academic results, particularly in English and Math, where student proficiency significantly outpaces both district and state averages. This success is achieved with notably lower per-student spending compared to several nearby schools like Toland Way Elementary and Fletcher Drive Elementary, which spend more but have lower proficiency rates. Furthermore, Delevan Drive Elementary maintains a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.2%, which is far better than the district average and key to supporting consistent student achievement.

Performance has remained strong and stable for over a decade, demonstrating effective pandemic recovery. The school's success suggests that specific school-level practices and culture are powerful drivers, as it outperforms some schools in higher-ranked districts like Glendale Unified. While areas like 6th-grade Math and Science present opportunities for growth, Delevan Drive Elementary is a model of consistent, high-impact education that delivers excellent results for its diverse student community.
