Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 91364

This analysis examines four public elementary schools (grades K-5, with one K-8) in the 91364 zip code of Woodland Hills, CA, all operating as charter or specialized institutions under the Los Angeles Unified or a specialized district.

Families in this area have access to a mix of high-performing and average schools. The standout is Woodland Hills Elementary Charter for Enriched Studies, which ranks in the top 10% of California schools with exceptional test scores, closely followed by the equally strong Calabash Charter Academy. CHIME Institute's Schwarzenegger Community, a unique K-8 school in its own district, performs solidly above average, while Serrania Avenue Charter for Enriched Studies lags behind the others in academic rankings and proficiency rates.

Key factors differentiating these schools include student attendance and resource efficiency. Calabash Charter has remarkably low chronic absenteeism at 8.1%, correlating with its high achievement. Interestingly, higher per-student spending does not guarantee better results; Serrania Avenue receives the most funding but has the lowest outcomes, whereas CHIME Institute achieves good results with the lowest spending. Science scores are a relative weakness across all schools, though Woodland Hills Elementary excels even in this subject. The data shows that within the same zip code and similar charter structures, school quality can vary significantly based on factors like consistent performance and effective program implementation.
