Summary

Limerick Avenue Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 656 students in Canoga Park within the Los Angeles Unified district, notable for its significant and consistent academic improvement over recent years.

The school has shown a remarkable upward trajectory, rising from a low statewide ranking to a solid 3-star school (60th percentile), and it particularly excels at supporting its student subgroups. For instance, its Hispanic, low-income, and English Learner students score in the 76th to 89th percentiles compared to peers across California, demonstrating effective strategies for historically underserved groups. This performance stands out compared to nearby schools like Winnetka Avenue Elementary (27th percentile) and Sunny Brae Avenue Elementary (28th percentile), which serve similar communities but achieve lower results, and it does so with more efficient per-student spending.

While math proficiency is a strength, outperforming both district and state averages, science scores are an area identified for growth. The school also competes favorably with most local charter schools, such as the similarly performing Multicultural Learning Center, though it trails higher-performing charters like Village Charter Academy. A notable local comparison is Superior Street Elementary, a high-performing neighbor, highlighting the potential for continued progress at Limerick Avenue.
