Best High Schools in Zip Code 91335

This analysis examines eight high schools in zip code 91335 (Reseda, CA), serving grades 9-12 across traditional, charter, and specialized continuation or transition centers, all operating within the Los Angeles Unified or smaller charter districts.

Grover Cleveland Charter High stands out as the area's top performer with strong test scores and a 92% graduation rate, despite serving a high-need population and having larger class sizes. Other charters show variation, with Magnolia Science Academy 5 posting historically strong math scores and a very high graduation rate, while Magnolia Science Academy performs in the mid-range. In contrast, Reseda Charter High spends more per student but achieves lower academic proficiency than Grover Cleveland.

The area's continuation schools, John R. Wooden High and Zane Grey Continuation, along with the specialized Joaquin Miller Career and Transition Center and Diane S. Leichman Career Preparatory and Transition Center, serve vulnerable students with intensive, high-cost support but face significant challenges with chronic absenteeism and low test scores. A key finding across all schools is that high per-student spending does not directly correlate with better academic outcomes, and chronic absenteeism is a pervasive issue affecting student learning throughout the community.
