Summary

Sylmar Elementary serves 393 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Sylmar, California, as part of Los Angeles Unified. Its latest results show a clear difference by subject: math is close to the state average, while English Language Arts (ELA) is notably lower. The clearest concern is third grade, where just 27% of students were proficient in ELA and 38% in math in 2025–2026, compared with 44% and 47% statewide, respectively.

Compared with nearby K–5 schools, science is Sylmar’s strongest subject, while ELA is its weakest. It ranked second of nine nearby schools in science, with 30% proficient—above the nearby-school average of 24%, but below the state’s 36% and district’s 32%. In ELA, its 38% result was below the nearby-school average of 40%, the state’s 49% and the district’s 48%; it ranked sixth of nine. Math was closer to the state average (37% versus 38%) and ranked fifth of nine locally, though it was below the district’s 40%.

Results improved in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA rose 6 percentage points, math 4 and science 11. Over the longer span from 2022–2023, however, ELA fell 4 points, while math rose 6 and science 9. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 45th percentile statewide with 2 stars in 2025–2026; its percentile had risen from 12 in 2014–2015, though five nearby schools ranked higher in the latest year. In 2024–2025, its student–teacher ratio was 18.7, compared with a nearby-school average of 19.7, and 96% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. One notable group result: SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 12th percentile for how well it serves English Language Learner Students in 2023–2024, down from the 75th percentile in 2022–2023; its overall ranking was at the 51st percentile in 2023–2024.
