Summary:

Zip code 91203 in Glendale, California, contains one elementary school, Columbus Elementary, serving grades K-5 within the generally high-performing Glendale Unified School District.

Columbus Elementary serves a student population where nearly two-thirds qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet it maintains a chronic absenteeism rate better than both the district and state averages. Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science all substantially below the Glendale Unified district averages. A particular concern is the sharp decline in mathematics proficiency by fifth grade, which drops to 23.6%, and a very low fifth-grade science proficiency rate of 19.2%.

The school's statewide ranking has declined recently, dropping to a 2-star rating. Despite this, it shows a positive trend in English scores improving with each grade. With per-student spending above the state average, the key focus for the school appears to be on improving the effectiveness of its academic programs, especially in upper-grade math and science, to better align with the performance of its district.
