Summary:
ZIP code 91206 has six Glendale Unified schools: two elementary schools, two middle schools, a high school, and an alternative school, with enrollments ranging from 72 to 1,182. Their grade spans differ, so grade-level comparisons are most useful when schools serve the same grades. The clearest area-wide outlier is Daily (Allan F.) High, a continuation school: its reported 2025–2026 proficiency is 0% in ELA, math, and science, while chronic absenteeism is 69%, compared with 18% statewide.
Among the five other schools, Glenoaks Elementary is the strongest all-around performer: it scores 57% in ELA, 52% in math, and 51% in science, above state results by 8, 13, and 15 percentage points, respectively. Verdugo Academy has the highest ELA result overall at 68%—19 points above the state—but its math result is 32%, 6 points below the state, showing a sharp subject-level split. Among the middle schools, Woodrow Wilson Middle is ahead of Theodore Roosevelt Middle in 8th-grade math, 50% to 32%. Daily also reports a 52% graduation rate and 39% dropout rate, versus 88% and 8% statewide.
Results changed in mixed ways from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, but the six-school average moved farther below the state in every subject: the gaps widened by about 3 percentage points in ELA, 1 in math, and 4 in science. SchoolDigger ranks Glenoaks at the 75th percentile with four stars and Wilson at the 71st percentile with four stars; Daily is at the 1st percentile with zero stars. Context measures do not form a simple pattern: Glenoaks’s student-teacher ratio is 23.1 and 49% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, while R. D. White Elementary reports a ratio of 28.7 and 63% eligible. These figures describe different school contexts, not causes of achievement results.
