Summary

Dyer Street Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 539 students in the Sylmar neighborhood of Los Angeles, part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, and it stands out for its strong math program and effective support for specific student groups.

Academically, the school's 40% proficiency in math is notably higher than both the district and state averages, and it outperforms most nearby schools like Sylmar Elementary and Morningside Elementary. While its English scores are slightly below average, the school is particularly effective with English Language Learner students, ranking in the 74th percentile statewide for this group. It achieves these results while spending less per student than many other Los Angeles Unified schools in the area.

When compared to local options, Dyer Street holds its own. It performs similarly to Vista del Valle Dual Language Academy and ranks above the district's average for the area. A nearby charter school, PUC Community Charter Elementary, has higher test scores, offering a point of comparison for families. The school has shown steady improvement, moving from the 48th to the 55th percentile in recent years, and while chronic absenteeism is a challenge, its rate is lower than several neighboring schools.
