Summary

Napa Street Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 402 students in Northridge, part of the Los Angeles Unified district, which serves a community with significant economic need, as 95% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school has faced challenges, with test scores in English, math, and science below state averages, though it has shown recent and meaningful improvement, moving from the 23rd to the 34th percentile among all California schools. The school spends significantly more per student than most nearby schools, including higher-performing ones like Topeka Charter School for Advanced Studies, and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio. A notable pattern is that student performance tends to decline in the upper grades, particularly in 5th-grade math and science.

When compared to other local schools, Napa Street has a much higher rate of economic disadvantage and a higher chronic absenteeism rate, though attendance has been improving. Schools with similar student demographics, such as Garden Grove Elementary, achieve higher academic results, suggesting there are practices to learn from. The recent positive trends in test scores and attendance indicate the school may be on a path of recovery and growth.
