Summary

Canfield Avenue Elementary is a Los Angeles Unified K–5 school in Los Angeles, serving 285 students. Its most important strength is consistently high achievement: in 2025–26, proficiency was 79% in English language arts (ELA), 72% in math, and 68% in science—well above both California and the district in every subject.

Compared with 10 nearby K–5 schools, Canfield ranked fourth in ELA and science and fifth in math, so it is strong locally but not the area’s top scorer. Its results were 16 percentage points above the nearby-school average in ELA, 15 points above in science, and 9 points above in math. Compared with California, its leads were 30 points in ELA, 34 in math, and 32 in science; compared with Los Angeles Unified, they were 30, 32, and 36 points, respectively. Math is its weakest local position, though the school still outperformed the nearby average.

Over four reported years, scores rose from 76% to 79% in ELA, 69% to 72% in math, and 51% to 68% in science. The state gap stayed about 30 points in ELA, narrowed by 1 point in math, and widened by 12 points in science. Canfield also earned 5 stars from SchoolDigger and ranked 420 of 5,804 schools, in the 93rd percentile; Los Angeles Unified received 3 stars and ranked in the 54th percentile. In 2024–25, the student–teacher ratio was 20.3, compared with a nearby-school average of 19.8. The school reported 50% free/reduced lunch eligible that year, versus a nearby-school average of 55%; California provides free school meals statewide, and this eligibility figure does not indicate who receives meals. Because the school is relatively small, grade-level results may shift with the number of students tested.

Thursday, January 27, 2011

We are strong believers in public education. Canfield is a wonderful school, with excellent scores, supported by an incredibly active parents group, and some of the most dedicated, hardworking, accessible teachers I have ever known. Our kids are doing things at Canfield that some would only expect out of the most exclusive private schools in the area. Close Quote
