Summary

Parthenia Academy of Arts and Technology is a public K-5 elementary school serving 421 students in North Hills, CA, within the Los Angeles Unified district, where academic performance has historically been below state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science.

When compared to nearby schools, Parthenia's academic results are mixed; its math scores are close to the district average, but it lags significantly behind higher-performing neighbors like Dearborn Elementary Charter Academy and Cantara Street Elementary in most subjects. The school spends a moderate amount per student and has a higher student-teacher ratio than some comparable schools, and it shows a particular strength in supporting English Language Learner students. Notably, the area features extreme performance differences, with top schools like Balboa Gifted/High Ability Magnet Elementary located very close to struggling schools.

Key takeaways include that Parthenia serves a student population with significant economic needs, similar to some higher-achieving schools, suggesting other factors influence outcomes. The school has made progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism, which could support future learning. While its arts and technology focus is part of its identity, this specialization has not yet translated into superior academic results relative to other local elementary schools.
