Summary:
The ISANA Palmati Academy District in North Hollywood contains a single high-performing elementary school, ISANA Palmati Academy, which serves grades K-8 with 360 students and has earned a consistent 4-star rating.
ISANA Palmati Academy stands out for its strong academic results, significantly outperforming California state averages in English and Math, with students scoring over 16 points higher in both subjects. This is particularly notable as the school serves a high-needs population. However, the school faces a challenge with chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the state average, and its statewide ranking has dipped slightly this year despite maintaining its 4-star status.
While excelling overall, performance varies by subject and grade; the school is especially strong in English Language Arts across most grades, but middle school math scores show a notable drop from elementary levels, and science proficiency, particularly in 8th grade, is an area for improvement. With substantial per-student funding, the school demonstrates that positive outcomes are achievable, though parents should be aware of the attendance concerns and the mixed performance in specific subjects and grades.
