Summary

Multicultural Learning Center is a K–8 school with 468 students in Canoga Park, in Los Angeles Unified. In 2025–2026, 43% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 38% in mathematics and 32% in science. Its clearest advantage is over nearby LAUSD schools: it scored above the average of seven nearby schools in all three subjects, by 10 points in ELA, 9 in mathematics and 8 in science.

Compared with the state and district, mathematics is the school’s strongest subject: its proficiency was about level with the state and 1 point below the district. ELA was 6 points below the state and 5 below the district; science was 4 points below the state and about level with the district. Among those seven nearby schools, the school ranked second in ELA and science and third in mathematics, and exceeded six of seven in each subject. Attendance is another bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 14%, compared with 23% in LAUSD and 18% statewide. Only Stanley Mosk Elementary and Citizens of the World Charter School West Valley had lower rates among nearby schools reporting figures.

SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 46th percentile in California, with 2 stars, for 2025–2026; its percentile was 38 in 2017–2018, but that change does not show a continuous trend. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Male Students rose from the 22nd percentile in 2017–2018 to the 54th in 2025–2026, above the school’s current overall percentile; for Low Socio Economic Status Students, the current percentile is 32, below the overall 46. The only supplied income figure is 57% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2017–2018, and the student–teacher ratio is 22.2 from that year. Because school test scores are available for only one year and most nearby LAUSD schools serve K–5 rather than K–8, the scores cannot show a trend and all-grades comparisons are not fully like-for-like.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, July 11, 2014

The Multicultural Learning Center is a dual language immersion charter school (so it's nonsensical to compare it to English-only/monolingual schools). The students become biliterate and bilingual in English and Spanish, and they embrace diversity and innovation. My children score advanced on the standardized tests, but more importantly, their critical thinking, love of learning, and self-esteem have been fostered immensely by the teachers, staff, administration, and the MLC community. It is a small, supportive environment that starts in kindergarten and continues through 8th grade. Close Quote
