Winnetka Avenue Elementary

Public Grades K-5

4398^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 24% of California elementary schools

Summary

Winnetka Avenue Elementary serves 306 students in grades K–5 in Canoga Park, in the Los Angeles Unified School District. SchoolDigger ranks it 4,387th of 5,804 California schools, at the 24th percentile with 1 star. The clearest concern is that Winnetka’s ELA and math results are below state and district levels and are the lowest among nearby LAUSD elementary peers with results.

ELA and math are the school’s weakest areas, while science is a relative bright spot locally. In 2025–2026, 30% of students met the ELA standard, compared with 49% statewide and 48% in Los Angeles Unified; Winnetka also trailed the nearby peer average of 41%. In math, 25% met the standard, versus 38% statewide and 40% districtwide; Winnetka was again lowest among the nearby schools, whose average was 38%. Science proficiency was 27%, below the state’s 36% and district’s 32%, but just above the nearby-school average of 26%; Winnetka ranked fifth of nine local peers.

Results over time are mixed: science rose from 14% in 2022–2023 to 27% in 2025–2026, narrowing its gap with the state from 16 to 9 points. ELA fell from 33% to 30%, widening its state gap from 14 to 20 points; math rose from 22% to 25%, but its state gap widened from 13 to 14 points. Chronic absenteeism improved from 50% in 2021–2022 to 30% in 2025–2026, yet remained 7 points above the district and 11 above the state. In 2024–2025, 93% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student-teacher ratio was 20.4, compared with 19.7 among nearby LAUSD peers. SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students ranking was at the 9th percentile, well below Winnetka’s overall 24th percentile; its English Language Learner Students percentile rose from 0 in 2021–2022 to 20 in 2023–2024, a historical change rather than a current ranking.
