Summary

Anatola Avenue Elementary serves 269 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Lake Balboa, within Los Angeles Unified. The clearest concern is fifth grade: only 25% of students were proficient in ELA and 21% in math in 2025–26, among the lowest results at nearby same-district schools in both subjects.

Across all grades, math is Anatola’s strongest subject relative to its other results, while ELA is its weakest local showing. ELA proficiency was 31%, the lowest among the ten same-district schools with results; math was 33%, above only one of those schools. Both remained below the nearby-school averages of 46% in ELA and 42% in math. Science proficiency was 18%, second-lowest locally and below the nearby average of 34%. Compared with state results, Anatola trailed by 19 percentage points in ELA, 5 in math and 18 in science. The school’s fifth-grade results also fell well below its third-grade results: 25% versus 35% in ELA, and 21% versus 43% in math.

Results have improved since 2022–23—by 3 percentage points in ELA, 4 in math and 10 in science—but remain below state averages. SchoolDigger placed Anatola at the 30th percentile with one star in 2025–26, down 9 percentile points from the prior year; among nearby same-district schools, only one ranked lower. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 19.2, below the nearby-school average of about 20. Anatola reported 87% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, close to the nearby average of 88%; this is an eligibility measure, not the share receiving meals. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner ranking fell from the 41st percentile in 2022–23 to the 16th in 2023–24, a notable drop in its relative standing for how well it serves this group.
