Summary

Porter Ranch Community is a K–8 public school in the Porter Ranch area of Los Angeles, serving 1,312 students in Los Angeles Unified. In 2025–2026, 76% of students were proficient in ELA, 71% in math, and 65% in science. Those results were well above both state and district levels in every subject, making the school a top local performer, although Beckford Charter for Enriched Studies scored higher across all three.

Compared with the state, Porter Ranch was ahead by 27 percentage points in ELA, 33 in math, and 29 in science; its leads over the district were 28, 32, and 33 points, respectively. Among eight nearby schools in the same district, Porter Ranch ranked second in ELA and third in math and science. Its results also exceeded the local averages by 10 points in ELA, 7 in math, and 12 in science. Science was its strongest subject against the local average, while math was its smallest lead. Within the school, third-grade ELA was a softer spot at 65%, while fourth- and fifth-grade math were strengths at 80% and 79%; both were second locally, behind Beckford. Nearby comparison schools serve K–5, unlike Porter Ranch’s K–8, so all-grade comparisons reflect different grade mixes.

Over four years, science improved the most, rising 9 percentage points, while math rose 3 and ELA slipped 1 overall; ELA also fell 5 points in the latest year after rising through 2024–2025. SchoolDigger ranks Porter Ranch 493rd of 5,804 statewide, at the 92nd percentile with 5 stars; its Los Angeles Unified ranking is 450th of 968, at the 54th percentile with 3 stars. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for White students is at the 64th percentile, and for multiracial students at the 66th percentile, both below the school’s overall 92nd-percentile standing. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 23.8, above the nearby same-district average of 22.7; 22% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the lowest comparable share among nearby schools.
