Summary

O’Melveny Elementary serves 345 students in grades K–5 in San Fernando and is part of Los Angeles Unified. Its results are uneven: science is a clear strength, while mathematics is weaker overall. The most important concern is third-grade math: just 18% of students were proficient, the lowest result among O’Melveny and its nine nearby peers.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, the district and the state. In 2025–2026, 45% of students were proficient—first among the nine nearby schools and 9 points above the state and 13 points above the district; the nearby-school average was 27%. Math proficiency was 34%, about 4 points below the nearby average, 4 below the state and 6 below the district, placing the school seventh among those peers. ELA was 50%, 1 point above the state and 2 above the district, and third among nearby schools, behind Haskell Elementary Sci Technical Engr Arts And Math (STEAM) Magnet and Danube Avenue Elementary. But ELA also varies by grade: third grade was 40%, while fifth grade reached 63%, the highest nearby result.

Science proficiency has risen 20 percentage points since 2022–2023; ELA gained 5 points, while math gained 2 and its gap with the state widened. SchoolDigger ranks O’Melveny at the 58th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, up 6 percentile points from 2023–2024 but down 6 from the previous year’s high. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 20.8, close to the nearby average of 20.6; 94% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with an 87% nearby average. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking suggests stronger relative performance for Hispanic students: the school was at the 73rd percentile in 2025–2026, versus 58th overall. Older results for English Language Learner Students were much lower: the school ranked at the 4th percentile in 2017–2018 and 17th in 2018–2019, compared with overall rankings of the 53rd and 62nd percentiles.
