Summary

Lassen Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 412 students in North Hills, California, as part of the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Academically, the school's overall test scores are near the middle compared to all California elementary schools, but it shows important strengths in supporting specific groups of students. For instance, Lassen ranks significantly higher than many nearby schools like Carlos Santana Arts Academy and Rosa Parks Learning Center when looking at the performance of Hispanic students and students from low-income families. The school has also made impressive progress in improving student attendance, cutting its chronic absenteeism rate by more than half since 2022, which is a steeper improvement than most surrounding schools.

An interesting point is that Lassen operates with the highest per-student spending in the area at $30,400, which is much higher than higher-performing schools like San Jose Street Elementary and Vintage Math/Science/Technology Magnet. Performance can vary from year to year, but the school has shown strong recovery in test scores since the pandemic and recently made a dramatic one-year leap in outcomes for students in special education. Parents may want to note a significant performance gap between female and male students, and that science scores are an area where the school lags behind state averages.
