Summary

Verdugo Woodlands Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-6 public school serving 676 students in the Glendale Unified district, maintaining a strong 4-star rating and ranking in the 85th percentile statewide for the 2024-2025 school year.

The school excels academically, with 67.65% of students proficient in English and 61.48% proficient in Math, outperforming most district peers. It is particularly effective in supporting all students, ranking in the 90th percentile or higher for English Learners, students in special education, and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Furthermore, student engagement is exceptional, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.2%, which is significantly lower than the district and state averages and closer to rates seen in elite neighboring districts like La Canada Unified.

While not matching the elite performance of schools like La Canada Elementary, Verdugo Woodlands performs comparably to other high-achieving schools such as John C. Fremont Elementary and some in Los Angeles Unified. Its true strength is its consistent, high-level performance over the past decade, even as the student population has changed, demonstrating a robust and effective learning environment for every child.
