Summary

Woodland Hills Academy is a public middle school serving about 600 students in grades 6-8 within the Los Angeles Unified school district, ranking in the lower-middle tier of California schools with test scores below state averages, particularly in math and science.

When compared to nearby schools, Woodland Hills Academy sits in the middle, performing better than some like Northridge Middle but significantly below high-achieving charters such as Gaspar De Portola Charter Middle. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, with over 30% of students missing significant school, a rate much higher than top-performing neighbors and linked to lower academic achievement. Interestingly, the school's per-student spending is higher than some of the better-performing schools, showing that funding alone doesn't determine success.

The school's performance has declined over the past decade, and it shows notable strengths in supporting some student groups while facing a pronounced struggle with 8th-grade math proficiency. The analysis of the area shows that strong outcomes are possible even for schools serving many economically disadvantaged students, as seen at James Jordan Middle, which has exceptional attendance. For Woodland Hills Academy, improving daily attendance and providing targeted math support, especially for older students, appear to be clear opportunities for growth.
