Summary

Porter Ranch Community is a large, high-performing K-8 elementary school serving 1,312 students in the Porter Ranch neighborhood of Los Angeles, part of the Los Angeles Unified school district.

Academically, the school is a consistent top performer, ranking in the 94th-96th percentile of all California elementary schools for the past decade, with student proficiency rates in English, Math, and Science that are dramatically higher than both district and state averages. It stands out for its effectiveness with all students, maintaining this elite status even as the economic diversity of its student body has increased. Furthermore, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 10.2% is less than half the district average, indicating a strong culture of attendance and engagement.

Interesting comparisons with nearby schools highlight its efficiency and consistency. While schools like Superior Street Elementary and Germain Academy For Academic Achievement spend significantly more per student, they achieve lower statewide rankings. Beckford Charter for Enriched Studies is the only nearby school that ranks higher. As a K-8 school, Porter Ranch Community shows particular strength in its middle school grades, an area where many students traditionally face challenges, providing a stable and high-achieving educational pathway from kindergarten through 8th grade.

Exceptional curriculum, dedicated staff and administration, high quality campus - this is a private school experience with a public school price. If you are lucky enough to be in the district, you will see why this is the top school in the valley (and the LAUSD). Close Quote
