Summary

Danube Avenue Elementary in Granada Hills, California, is a Los Angeles Unified K–5 school with 259 students. Its latest results show a clear contrast: English language arts and math proficiency are above state and district levels, while science is below both. Most importantly, fifth-grade math is a standout weakness, at 30% proficiency—the lowest among the 11 nearby schools compared.

Compared with nearby schools, Danube is strongest in ELA: 51% proficiency ranks fourth of 11 and is just above the nearby average of 50%, as well as the state’s 49% and district’s 48%. Math is 40%, slightly above the state and district but below the nearby average of 47%, ranking ninth of 11. Science is 31%, below the state at 36%, the district at 32%, and the nearby average at 36%; it ranks sixth locally. Third grade is a bright spot, with 55% in ELA and 52% in math, both above state results. Chronic absenteeism remains a concern: 24% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, the highest rate among nearby schools and above the district’s 23% and state’s 18%.

Results have improved over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency rose 12 percentage points and math rose 15, putting both above state levels after starting below them. Science also rose, from 17% to 31%. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide ranking was at the 58th percentile, with 3 stars, up from the 38th percentile and 2 stars in 2022–2023. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 18.5, the lowest among nearby schools, and 81% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year.
