Summary

Danube Avenue Elementary is a public elementary school in Granada Hills, California, serving 286 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, which is ranked 796 out of 1,565 districts in the state.

Danube Avenue Elementary consistently performs below the Los Angeles Unified and California state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in ELA/Literacy ranged from 30.95% to 48.57%, compared to 43.61% to 47.18% for Los Angeles Unified and 44.21% to 48.81% for California. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 25.81% to 45.24%, compared to 36.33% to 47.62% for Los Angeles Unified and 36.03% to 46.3% for California. The school's performance in CAST Science assessments is also below the district and state averages. Additionally, Danube Avenue Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 30.8% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Nearby schools, such as Vintage Math/Science/Technology Magnet, Mayall Street Elementary, and Haskell Elementary Sci Technical Engr Arts And Math (STEAM) Magnet, generally outperform Danube Avenue Elementary in academic assessments, with higher proficiency rates in ELA/Literacy and Mathematics. These schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Danube Avenue Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance, despite the relatively high per-student spending.
