Summary

Lorne Street Elementary is a stable, mid-sized public school serving 372 students in grades K-5 within the Los Angeles Unified district in Northridge, consistently performing in the middle tier of California schools.

Academically, the school is a solid performer, with students scoring above both district and state averages in English and Math, though science scores are slightly lower. What stands out is the school's remarkable consistency and effective support for its student community; it maintains steady year-to-year results unlike some neighbors with volatile performance, such as Blythe Street Elementary. Lorne Street achieves these outcomes efficiently, spending less per student than several nearby schools like Anatola Avenue Elementary while often getting better academic results.

Parents should note the school's strong record of improving student attendance and its effective support for economically disadvantaged students. However, there is a noticeable performance drop in 5th grade and a persistent gap between female and male student achievement. While outperforming schools like Bertrand Avenue Elementary, Lorne Street is not the top performer in its immediate area; schools like Dearborn Elementary Charter Academy and Stagg Street Elementary, which serve similar student populations, achieve higher proficiency rates.

This is an awful school. Stay away. Close Quote

My child's attitude towards school has completely changed since she started this school year. She came from a school where she was disillusioned, to now wanting never to mis school for loss of learning time. She has her drive back and is anxious to learn more. Thank you Lorne for bringing that fire into her heart. Close Quote
