Summary

Sun Valley Magnet is a public magnet school serving grades 6-12 in the Los Angeles Unified district, with about 1,270 students in a high-need community where nearly all qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school's most remarkable achievement is its perfect 100% graduation rate, maintained for five straight years, which dramatically outperforms the district and state averages and is matched locally only by the Science Academy STEM Magnet. While its test scores in English, math, and science are improving, they remain below average; however, the school shows particular strength in preparing 11th graders, whose English proficiency far exceeds state averages. It is also notably effective with its core student populations, as evidenced by its high statewide rankings for students from low-income families.

Compared to other area schools like North Hollywood Senior High, Sun Valley Magnet presents a compelling profile: exceptional success in getting students to graduate, even as academic proficiency continues on a positive upward trend. This makes it a strong option for families seeking a supportive environment that prioritizes student completion and steady improvement.
