Summary

Dixie Canyon Community Charter is a K–5 elementary school serving 635 students in Sherman Oaks, within Los Angeles Unified. SchoolDigger ranked it 1,120th among 5,804 California schools in 2025–2026, at the 81st percentile with four stars. The most important caution for families comparing grade levels is fifth-grade math: Dixie ranked ninth among the ten nearby schools, with 44% proficient compared with a nearby-school average of 56%.

Dixie’s 2025–2026 results were above state and district levels in all three tested subjects, but comparisons with nearby schools were mixed. ELA proficiency was 66%, about 0.4 percentage points above the local average of 65.7, placing Dixie fourth among the ten schools. Math was 60%, 3 points below the local average, and science was 43%, 10 points below the local average of 52%; both ranked fifth locally. The school’s overall math result hides a substantial grade-level difference: proficiency was 77% in third grade and 44% in fifth, a 34-point drop. Even so, fifth-grade math remained above state and district rates of 37% and 40%. Science also warrants attention: its 43% result was above the state by 7 points and the district by 10, but fell 13 points from the prior year.

Results have generally eased from earlier levels: since 2022–2023, ELA declined 8 points, math 4 points and science 7 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile fell from 90 in 2021–2022 to 81 in 2025–2026; Dixie ranks fifth among the ten nearby schools, whose average percentile is 81. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 23.5, above the nearby average of 22.6, while 33% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the third-lowest local rate. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for White students was at the 57th percentile, down from 70 the prior year; for Hispanic students, it was at the 81st percentile, down from 96 in 2023–2024.
