Summary

O'Melveny Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 345 students in San Fernando, California, within the Los Angeles Unified school district, and it has shown impressive academic growth, now ranking in the 64th percentile statewide.

The school stands out for its strong academic results, especially given that over 93% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. In both English and Math, O'Melveny's students outperform the average for both the district and the state. This success is particularly notable when compared to nearby schools with similar student populations, such as Sharp Avenue Elementary and Morningside Elementary, where proficiency rates are significantly lower. The school has also shown consistent improvement over the past decade and is very effective in supporting students with special education needs.

While O'Melveny excels in many areas, it faces challenges with chronic student absences, though its rate is improving and better than some neighbors like Osceola Street Elementary. Performance also dips in 5th grade, suggesting a focus area as students prepare for middle school. A telling comparison is with its closest neighbor, San Fernando Elementary, which has nearly identical demographics and funding but ranks much lower academically, highlighting the positive impact of O'Melveny's specific programs and culture.
