N.E.W. Academy Canoga Park District

Summary:

The N.E.W. Academy Canoga Park District in Canoga Park consists of a single elementary school, N.E.W. Academy Canoga Park, serving about 400 students in grades K-5.

This school serves a community with very high economic need, and its academic performance is significantly below state averages in English, math, and science, despite spending more per student than most California schools. However, it shows a relative strength in Spanish listening skills and has a slightly better chronic absenteeism rate than the state average. The school's statewide ranking has been volatile in recent years but shows recent improvement.

Notably, student proficiency in core subjects tends to decline in the upper grades, suggesting challenges with academic progression. For parents, this indicates a school facing substantial academic hurdles but with some foundational strengths in student attendance and oral Spanish language. The high per-student investment raises questions about how resources are being used to support classroom learning and student outcomes.
