Summary

Chandler Elementary is a K–5 school serving 450 students in Sherman Oaks, within Los Angeles Unified. Its test results are above state and district averages in reading and math, but the school’s strongest advantage is math, while science is its clearest weakness.

Math is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: 61% of students were proficient in 2025–26, about 23 points above the state and 22 above the district, and 8 points above the nearby-school average. Only Kester Avenue Elementary and Sherman Oaks Elementary Charter scored higher. Reading was 58%, above state and district results and just 1 point above the nearby average; five nearby schools scored higher. Science was the main concern: 32% proficiency was 4 points below the state and 8 below the nearby average, placing Chandler sixth among the 10 schools. Fourth grade was especially strong, with 72% proficiency in math—the highest nearby—and 71% in reading, second-highest. Fifth-grade reading was weaker at 51%, ranking seventh among the 10 schools.

Results have softened since 2022–23: reading is down 9 points, math 5 and science 11. Science reached 65% in 2023–24, then fell to 48% in 2024–25 and 32% in 2025–26; in the latest year alone, it dropped 16 points. Attendance has improved, with chronic absenteeism falling from 23% in 2021–22 to 13% in 2025–26, below both the state and district rates.
