Summary:

Zip code 91340 has 14 schools serving kindergarten through grade 12: five elementary schools, two middle schools, six high schools and one alternative school. Thirteen are in Los Angeles Unified; Vaughn Next Century Learning Center is in its own district. For 2025–2026, the 13 schools with current scores averaged 41% in English language arts (ELA), 23% in math and 22% in science, compared with state averages of 49%, 38% and 36%. The central takeaway is that wide differences between schools make the area averages a poor guide to any one school.

Several schools stand out above the rest, while Mission Continuation is at the other end. Cesar E. Chavez Learning Acads-Arts/Theatre/Entertain Mag led ELA at 78%, about 40 points above the other schools’ average and 28 points above the state. Vista del Valle Dual Language Academy was the only school above the state in math, scoring 41%, while O’Melveny Elementary led science at 45%, 9 points above the state. O’Melveny also scored just above the state in ELA. Mission Continuation had the lowest results in all three subjects—7% ELA, 0% math and 3% science—and chronic absenteeism of 73%, compared with 18% statewide.

Results changed unevenly: among the same 13 schools, the science average rose 7 points from the prior year, compared with a 3-point state increase; ELA was roughly level with the state’s change, while math rose less than the state result. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings improved for Morningside Elementary (16 to 35) and Arts/Theatre/Entertain Mag (60 to 73), though rankings are not proficiency-score changes. Middle-school families may also compare San Fernando Institute of Applied Media, which outscored San Fernando Middle in all three subjects and had lower absenteeism (12% versus 22%), despite a higher student-teacher ratio (18.9 versus 15.5). Both reported free/reduced lunch eligible measures for 2024–2025: 91% and 96%, respectively. Vaughn’s latest scores are from 2024–2025, so they are not directly ranked with the 2025–2026 results.
