Summary
Parthenia Academy of Arts and Technology is a K–5 school in North Hills, in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, with 421 students. Its 2025–2026 results vary sharply by subject: mathematics is near or slightly above state and district levels, while English language arts (ELA) is below them and science is much further behind. The clearest grade-level concern is fourth grade, where proficiency is low in both ELA and math; the school’s largest overall academic shortfall is science, at 19% proficient compared with 36% statewide and 32% in Los Angeles Unified.
Math is Parthenia’s strongest subject relative to the state and district, but its results remain below the nearby-school average. In math, 40% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 40% in the district; the average for nine nearby schools with same-year results was 48%, placing Parthenia fifth among ten schools. In ELA, 38% were proficient, versus 49% statewide, 48% in the district, and a 50% nearby-school average; six nearby schools scored higher. Science was weaker still: Parthenia’s 19% was 20 points below the nearby average of 39%, and seven nearby schools scored higher. Fourth-grade results reinforce the concern: ELA proficiency was 27%, and math was 29%; in each subject, only one nearby school scored lower.
Recent results show progress in ELA and math, but science has fallen further behind the state. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, Parthenia gained 3 percentage points in ELA and 7 in math; science fell 3 points as the state’s science result rose, widening the gap to 17 points. SchoolDigger ranked the school 3,232nd of 5,804 California schools, at the 44th percentile with 2 stars; its percentile has risen 15 points in two years, though seven of nine nearby schools ranked higher. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 20.5, around the middle of the nearby range of 18.6 to 24.0, and 90% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Special Education Students was 68 in 2025–2026, 24 points above the school’s overall percentile of 44; its English Language Learner Students percentile reached 73 in 2023–2024, up from 26 the year before, compared with the school’s overall percentile of 29 that year.
