Summary
Toluca Lake Elementary serves 503 students in grades K–5 in North Hollywood, with several nearby elementary schools offering useful local comparisons. Its 2025–2026 results show a mixed academic picture: math is a relative strength, while science is the clearest concern. The most important finding is that science proficiency trails the state, district, and nearby-school average.
Math and English results are above both Los Angeles Unified and California, but Toluca Lake is around the middle of nearby schools: fifth of 10 in each subject. Math proficiency was 53%, compared with 38% statewide, 40% in the district, and a 51% nearby-school average. English proficiency was 54%, versus 49% statewide, 48% in the district, and a 50% nearby average. Science was 32%, below the state’s 36%, the district’s 32%, and the nearby average of 42%; the school ranked sixth of 10 locally. Results also vary by grade: third-grade math reached 67%, ranking third among nearby schools with results for that grade, while fifth-grade math was 41%, ranking eighth.
Math has improved over time, rising 8 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while English fell 3 points and science fell 6. Science was above the state in earlier reported years but is now below it. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 68th percentile with 3 stars, down from the 75th percentile and 4 stars the year before; it is fifth among nearby schools with current rankings. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well it serves White students is at the 51st percentile, down 18 points since 2023–2024; its measure for Low Socio Economic Status Students is at the 68th percentile, down 19 points since 2024–2025. For context, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 20.9, and 65% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism has also improved, falling from 34% in 2021–2022 to 19% in 2025–2026, slightly above the state’s 18%.
