Summary

Canoga Park Senior High is a large public high school serving approximately 1,400 students in grades 9-12 within the Los Angeles Unified School District, consistently earning a 2-star rating and serving a community with significant economic need.

Academically, the school presents a mixed picture: it excels in English Language Arts, outperforming both district and state averages, but faces considerable challenges in mathematics and science, where proficiency rates are significantly lower. Compared to nearby schools like Grover Cleveland Charter High and Taft Charter High, Canoga Park's academic proficiency, particularly in STEM, is lower, though it's important to note it serves a student population with a much higher rate of economic disadvantage. A standout strength is its 93% graduation rate, which exceeds both district and state averages and rivals those of higher-ranked local schools.

The school benefits from more funding per student and a lower student-teacher ratio than many comparison schools. It shows notable effectiveness in supporting Hispanic students, special education students, and female students to achieve relative to their peers statewide. However, performance for English Language Learners is a critical area for improvement. When compared to other local schools with similar high-poverty demographics, such as Owensmouth Continuation, Canoga Park performs stronger, suggesting it is relatively effective within its specific context.
