Summary:

ZIP code 91402 has 11 schools serving students from kindergarten through high school: eight elementary schools, one middle school and two high schools, all part of Los Angeles Unified. The high schools have sharply different outcomes: Panorama High has higher 11th-grade proficiency than Cal Burke High in ELA (34% versus 7%), math (15% versus 0%) and science (18% versus 0%). Panorama also has a higher graduation rate (95% versus 67%) and lower dropout rate (5% versus 21%). But chronic absenteeism is high at both: 40% at Panorama and 85% at Cal Burke, compared with 18% statewide. The clearest warning for families is Cal Burke’s combination of weak test results, low graduation and exceptionally high absenteeism.

Among the seven elementary schools with scores, Panorama City Elementary leads in math (55%) and science (45%), while Alta California Elementary leads in ELA (55%). Panorama City is 17 percentage points above the supplied state figure in math and 9 points above in science; Alta is 6 points above state in ELA. At the other end, Burton Street Elementary has the lowest elementary ELA and math results (23% and 18%), while Ranchito Avenue Elementary has the lowest science result (20%). These gaps are substantial even among schools serving the same grade span.

Elementary results are changing unevenly: average science proficiency rose 7 percentage points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, math rose 2, and ELA was nearly flat. Panorama City’s science score jumped 21 points, while Ranchito’s fell 4. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings also improved at several schools, including Michelle Obama Elementary (up 33 points to the 45th percentile) and Panorama City (up 13 points to the 73rd). Income measures offer context but are not directly comparable: in 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible results ranged from 91% at Ranchito to 96% at Alta, while schools reporting directly certified for free meals reported 58%–63%. Primary Academy for Success has no supplied test scores, so its academic performance cannot be compared here.
