Summary:
Zip code 91331 has 16 schools—11 elementary, three middle and two high—serving students from elementary through high school; 15 have test-score data, while Fenton Primary Center has none in the supplied figures. Across eight K–5 schools with 2025–26 results, averages were 39% in English language arts (ELA), 34% in math and 26% in science, versus state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The clearest standout is Vena Avenue Elementary, the only school in that group above the state in all three subjects, by 9 points in ELA, 16 in math and 10 in science.
Vena also leads the eight-school group in every subject: its 58% ELA result is 28 points above Telfair Avenue Elementary’s 30%; its 54% in math is 28 points above Sharp Avenue Elementary’s 26%; and its 46% in science is 36 points above Sharp’s 10%. Canterbury Avenue Elementary is another bright spot, with 42% in math—above the state—and 49% in ELA, close to the state. Among middle schools, Pacoima Middle leads in ELA and math, while Charles Maclay Middle edges ahead in science; both are below state results in all three subjects. Arleta High is much closer to the state in ELA (46% versus 49%) than in math (12% versus 38%).
Results are changing differently across grade bands: the elementary-school average was essentially flat in ELA and math from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while science rose 1 point; the two middle schools’ averages rose 4 points in ELA, 5 in math and 8 in science. Arleta also improved—by 9 points in ELA, 2 in math and 8 in science. SchoolDigger places Vena at the 75th statewide percentile and Charles Maclay at the 23rd. As context, ten elementary schools report free/reduced lunch eligible rates for 2024–25 ranging from 79% at Vena to 97% at Sharp; their student-teacher ratios are similar, at 21.5 and 20.8. Test years differ across some schools, so those results are not always directly comparable.
