Summary:
ZIP code 91411 has two Los Angeles Unified high schools, both serving grades 9–12: a senior high school with 1,969 students and a continuation school with 136. Their reported academic results differ substantially, so the ZIP code does not represent one uniform school experience; the biggest takeaway is the wide achievement gap between the two schools.
Van Nuys Senior High stands out at the top: in 2025–2026, its all-grades ELA proficiency was 57%, 8 points above the state, and science was 35.9% versus 36.0% statewide; math was its weaker subject, at 28% compared with 38% statewide. Will Rogers Continuation had the lowest results, with 14% proficient in ELA, 2% in math, and 11% in science—35, 36, and 25 points below the state, respectively. Van Nuys exceeded Will Rogers by 43 points in ELA, 26 in math, and 25 in science. Graduation and attendance also differ: Van Nuys’ graduation rate was 93%, compared with 32% at Will Rogers, while chronic absenteeism was 32% and 89%, respectively.
Across the two schools, the equal-school average moved from 15 points below the state in 2024–2025 to 16 points below in 2025–2026; math was the main concern, as its average proficiency fell from 19% to 15%, while science rose from 18% to 24%. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking for Van Nuys declined from 71st in 2023–2024 to 62nd in 2025–2026; Will Rogers rose from 4th to 12th, then stood at 10th. The schools also differ in size and reported measures: student–teacher ratios were 19.1 at Van Nuys and 15.1 at Will Rogers. For 2024–2025, Van Nuys reported 85% free/reduced lunch eligible, while Will Rogers reported 66% directly certified for free meals and was marked as likely serving free meals to all students; these are distinct measures and are not directly comparable.
