Summary

North Hollywood Senior High is a 9–12 school in North Hollywood, California, serving 2,444 students in Los Angeles Unified. Its 2025–2026 results are strong in English language arts and science, and graduation is high: 96%, compared with 90% districtwide and 88% statewide. The clearest concern alongside those results is chronic absenteeism: 31% of students were chronically absent, above the district’s 23% and the state’s 18%.

The school stands out locally in English and science, but it is not the area’s top performer. Its proficiency rates were 73% in English language arts and 52% in science, ranking second among nearby schools with reported results in each subject; only Science Academy STEM Magnet scored higher. North Hollywood’s rates were 25 and 16 percentage points above the state, respectively, and 25 and 20 points above the district. Math was a more modest strength: 42% proficient, 3 points above the state and 2 above the district, ranking third nearby behind Science Academy and Burroughs High. One notable exception to the overall science picture is 12th grade: 13% were proficient, below the state’s 33% and only slightly above the district’s 12%. Nearby schools serve different grade spans and include specialized programs, so comparisons are not fully like-for-like.

Results have improved since 2022–2023, especially in science: English rose 4 percentage points to 73%, math rose 5 points to 42%, and science rose 9 points to 52%. SchoolDigger ranks North Hollywood at the 84th percentile with 4 stars for 2025–2026; its percentile was 82 for the previous three reported years. It is also the largest school in the nearby comparison, and its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 20.5. In 2024–2025, 72% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Multi-racial Students fell sharply, from the 71st percentile in 2024–2025 to the 29th in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 84th percentile—a marked difference in how well the school ranks in serving that group.

I am in the HGM (Highly Gifted Magnet) at North Hollywood High School. My teachers are all amazing and they have taught me extremely well. I feel that the HGM is one of the best opportunities to get a quality education in LAUSD. The acceptance rate from colleges/universities is great and the various academic teams at North Hollywood are constantly winning awards. Go Huskies! Close Quote
