Summary

El Oro Way Charter for Enriched Studies is a K–5 elementary school in Granada Hills, California, serving 434 students in Los Angeles Unified. Its clearest academic strength is math, where it ranks third among the 11 schools compared nearby.

Math is the school’s strongest subject against local and public benchmarks: 66% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 38% statewide and 40% districtwide, and a 53% average at nearby schools. ELA was also above the state and district: 59% proficiency, compared with 49% and 48%, respectively, and a 54% nearby-school average. Science is the main weakness: proficiency was 29%, below the state’s 36%, the district’s 32%, and the nearby-school average of 36%. Among the 11 schools, El Oro Way ranked fourth in ELA and seventh in science. Its 13% chronic absenteeism rate was below the state’s 18% and district’s 23%; only Van Gogh Charter had a lower rate nearby.

Results show a sustained decline in science, from 48% in 2022–2023 to 29% in 2025–2026, a drop of 19 percentage points. ELA remains above state and district levels, but its state advantage was 1 point narrower than in 2022–2023. El Oro Way had a 76th-percentile rank and four stars from SchoolDigger in 2025–2026, up 3 percentile points since 2023–2024; three nearby schools ranked higher. SchoolDigger’s group-specific ranking places its standing for multiracial students at the 30th percentile (525th of 752), 46 percentile points below its overall standing.
