Summary:
The Valor Academy High District in North Hills, California, contains a single high school, Valor Academy High, serving grades 9-12 with about 492 students.
This school demonstrates a notable strength in graduating students, with a 94.9% graduation rate and a low 2.5% dropout rate, outcomes that are excellent even when considering the state averages. This success is achieved while serving a student population where over 94% are economically disadvantaged. The school benefits from a per-student spending of over $23,500 and a student-teacher ratio of 18-to-1, providing significant resources to support its students.
Academically, the school presents a mixed picture. Proficiency in English Language Arts, at 59.41%, is a clear strength and exceeds the state average. However, proficiency in mathematics (26.73%) and science (25.24%) falls below state benchmarks. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past few years, moving from the 69th to the 59th percentile, which is an area for attention. Despite these academic challenges in specific subjects, the school's exceptional ability to support students through to graduation is a key positive finding for families.
