Summary:
The Girls Athletic Leadership School Los Angeles District contains a single middle school, Girls Athletic Leadership School Los Angeles, serving grades 6-8 with 161 students in Van Nuys.
This school has a specialized focus on girls' athletic leadership and shows a clear strength in English Language Arts for its 8th graders, who perform above the state average. However, math scores are significantly below average across all grades, and chronic absenteeism, at 29.3%, is much higher than the state average. The school serves a population with high economic need, with over 71% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite a favorable student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, the school's statewide ranking has recently declined. Parents should note the strong literacy development by 8th grade but may want to inquire about specific math support programs and strategies the school uses to address student attendance, which is a key area for improvement.
