Summary

Vinedale College Preparatory Academy serves 207 students in kindergarten through grade 8 in Sun Valley, within Los Angeles Unified. Its latest results show a broad academic challenge: in 2025–2026, proficiency was below state and district levels in English language arts (ELA), math and science. Among six nearby LAUSD schools reporting results that year, Vinedale ranked lowest in ELA and math and second-lowest in science.

Vinedale’s strongest subject relative to the state is math, though its overall result remains low: 20% were proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 40% districtwide. Science was weakest against the state: 12% were proficient, versus 36% statewide and 32% districtwide. In ELA, 29% were proficient, compared with 49% statewide and 48% districtwide. Grade-level results show an important exception: sixth-grade math was 43%, above both the state and district at 37%. But fifth-grade math was just 8%, lower than all six nearby LAUSD schools with comparable results; seventh- and eighth-grade math were also particularly weak. Chronic absenteeism has improved but remains a concern: it fell from 54% in 2021–2022 to 29% in 2025–2026, still the highest among the six nearby schools reporting that year.

Progress has been uneven. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math proficiency rose from 8% to 20%, while ELA edged up from 28% to 29%. Science rose from 8% to 12% over that period, but fell from 23% in 2024–2025 to 12% the following year. SchoolDigger ranked Vinedale at the 30th statewide percentile and gave it 2 stars in 2025–2026; its percentile has recovered from 3 in 2022–2023, though it remains in the middle-to-lower part of the nearby group. The student-teacher ratio was 17.2 in 2024–2025, the lowest among nearby schools reporting a ratio. Vinedale reported 91% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, around the middle of nearby schools with that measure. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves Hispanic students ranked it at the 54th percentile, above its 30th-percentile overall ranking; its ranking for male students was 6th percentile, below the overall result. Because Vinedale serves K–8 while most nearby schools serve K–5, all-grade comparisons cover different grade spans.
