Summary

Kittridge Street Elementary is a large, K-5 public school serving 768 students in Van Nuys, part of the Los Angeles Unified district, and it has made one of the most dramatic academic turnarounds in the area, jumping from the 23rd to the 48th percentile statewide in a single year.

This remarkable improvement is seen in test scores, with proficiency in English and Math rising significantly, and in better student attendance, which is now below both district and state averages. The school achieves these strong results while spending less per student than many nearby schools like Ranchito Avenue Elementary and Van Nuys Elementary. When compared to schools with similar student populations, such as Andres and Maria Cardenas Elementary and Saticoy Elementary, Kittridge's academic performance is notably stronger.

While fifth graders excel in English, the school has identified areas for continued growth, particularly in fourth-grade academics and school-wide science scores. The recent progress suggests a positive and sustainable trend, making Kittridge a compelling local option that is effectively supporting its students and showing impressive momentum compared to peers like Coldwater Canyon Elementary.
