Summary

Nevada Avenue Elementary is a K–5 school serving 379 students in West Hills, a Los Angeles neighborhood, and is part of Los Angeles Unified. The most important takeaway is that student proficiency has improved, but the school still trails both state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA), math, and science: in 2025–2026, about 42% of students were proficient in ELA, 29% in math, and 28% in science.

ELA is the school’s relative strength, while math is its clearest challenge compared with nearby schools. Nevada Avenue’s ELA result was about 2 percentage points below the nearby-school average, versus 11 points below in math and 6 points below in science; it ranked fourth of seven nearby same-district schools in ELA and fifth in math and science. Its math proficiency was also about 11 points below the district average and 10 below the state average. Fifth-grade ELA stands out positively: about 54% were proficient, roughly 5 points above both state and district results. In contrast, math proficiency was below the state in grades 3, 4, and 5.

The improvement is substantial, though results have not risen every year: since 2022–2023, proficiency increased by about 14 points in ELA, 15 in math, and 16 in science, while the gaps to state results narrowed by about 11, 11, and 10 points, respectively. SchoolDigger places the school at the 40th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, with 2 stars and a rank of 3,477 of 5,804; its standing rose from the 14th percentile in 2022–2023, but it ranks fifth among seven nearby schools with current rankings. Context for families includes a student-teacher ratio of 18.4 in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools with reported ratios, and 87% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; California also provides free meals to all students, a separate statewide policy. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner Students effectiveness ranking fell from the 73rd percentile in 2021–2022 to the 30th in 2023–2024, when the school’s overall ranking was at the 35th percentile—a notable change in its statewide standing for serving that group.
