Summary

Langdon Avenue Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 532 students in North Hills, CA, as part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, and it faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 11% of all California elementary schools.

The school's test scores are well below state and district averages, with only about a quarter of students proficient in English and less than one in five proficient in math; a major concern is chronic absenteeism, with 30.4% of students missing too much school, which is much higher than at nearby schools like Panorama City Elementary (8.0%) or Noble Avenue Elementary (17.4%). Despite receiving more funding per student than some higher-performing neighbors, Langdon's outcomes are lower, particularly in 5th-grade science where proficiency is just 6.74%.

However, the school shows a notable strength in supporting its English Language Learner students, who perform near the state average, suggesting effective teaching methods exist within the school that could be expanded. The dramatic success of Panorama City Elementary, which serves a similarly high-needs population, proves that improvement is possible with the right focus on attendance and instruction.
