Summary:

Zip code 90402 has one listed school, Canyon Charter Elementary, serving K–5 and enrolling 391 students. In 2025–26, proficiency was 83% in ELA, 78% in math, and 77% in science—well above Los Angeles Unified by 35, 38, and 45 percentage points, respectively, and above state results by 34, 40, and 41 points. The clearest finding for families is that Canyon’s results exceed both district and state levels in every reported subject.

Canyon Charter Elementary is both the area’s highest- and lowest-performing school by default because it is the only school in the list, so there is no meaningful local school ranking. Its grade-level comparisons also stand out: in grade 5, Canyon was 40 points above the state in ELA, 42 points above in math, and 41 points above in science. SchoolDigger ranked Canyon 188th of 5,804 schools statewide in 2025–26, at the 97th percentile.

Results changed in different directions over the last two reported years: math fell 9 points, from 87% in 2024–25 to 78% in 2025–26, while science rose 6 points, from 71% to 77%; ELA was essentially unchanged at 83%. SchoolDigger’s ranking remained high but fluctuated: 257th of 5,869 schools (96th percentile) in 2023–24, 126th of 5,857 (98th percentile) in 2024–25, and 188th of 5,804 (97th percentile) in 2025–26. Other context includes a 23:1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25 and 16% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 5% in 2025–26, versus 23% districtwide and 18% statewide. With only one school listed, the data cannot show how Canyon compares with other schools within the zip code.
