Summary:

Zip code 91340 in San Fernando, California, is served by 15 public schools educating roughly 9,500 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, primarily within the Los Angeles Unified district, with a high concentration of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Parents will find a mix of traditional and specialized options, with standout performance at several unique programs. The Cesar E. Chavez Learning Acads-Arts/Theatre/Entertain Mag academy boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate, while the large K-12 Vaughn Next Century Learning Center in the Vaughn Next Century Learning Center District achieves a 98.2% graduation rate. For elementary grades, O'Melveny Elementary and Vista del Valle Dual Language Academy are top performers, and PUC Nueva Esperanza Charter Academy leads among middle schools.

While graduation rates are generally strong, academic proficiency, especially in math, lags behind state averages. A significant challenge across nearly all schools is chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the state average and likely impacts learning. Per-student spending varies widely, but higher spending does not consistently correlate with better academic outcomes, suggesting factors like specialized programs and student support systems are crucial for success in this community.
