Summary

Osceola Street Elementary is a K–5 school in Sylmar, within Los Angeles Unified, serving 352 students. Its clearest recent success is attendance: chronic absenteeism dropped from 48% in 2021–22 to 17% in 2025–26, below the district’s 23% and California’s 18%. This improvement is especially encouraging alongside mixed academic results.

Math is the school’s strongest subject, while science is its largest academic gap. In 2025–26, 40% of students were proficient in math, about 2 percentage points above the state and 1 point above the district; Osceola ranked third among itself and nine nearby same-district schools. ELA proficiency was 43%, 6 points below the state and 5 below the district, while science was 25%, 11 points below the state and 7 below the district. Nearby-school averages were 36% in math, 41% in ELA and 26% in science. Results also vary by grade: fourth-grade math was 2 points above the state, but third-grade math was 7 points below it. Among schools with similar reported income measures, Dyer Street Elementary had higher math and science results, while Herrick Avenue Elementary scored lower in all three subjects.

Math proficiency rose 6 percentage points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, moving from just below to above the state; ELA gained only 1 point overall and fell 6 points after a stronger 2024–25, while science gained less than 1 point as its gap with the state widened. SchoolDigger ranks Osceola 2,881 of 5,804 California schools, at the 50th percentile with 3 stars; its percentile has risen 27 points since 2015–16. The student–teacher ratio is 20.7, compared with a nearby-school average of 19.5. In 2024–25, 90% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the nearby-school average of 91%; California is a statewide-free-meals state, but this is Osceola’s own reported share. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings show stronger results in serving Hispanic students, at the 68th percentile versus 50th overall, and a rise for Male Students from the 40th percentile in 2023–24 to the 61st in 2025–26.
