Summary:
Zip code 91423 in Sherman Oaks, CA, is served by four public charter schools—two elementary and two middle schools—enrolling over 2,400 students, all of which outperform their Los Angeles Unified district averages in core subjects.
Dixie Canyon Community Charter stands out as the top performer, with the highest test scores and ranking, while Louis Armstrong Middle has shown consistent improvement. The two elementary schools generally achieve higher proficiency rates than the middle schools. Notably, High Technical LA Middle, part of its own High Technical LA Middle District, faces greater academic challenges despite having the lowest chronic absenteeism rate.
A striking finding is that Louis Armstrong Middle and High Technical LA Middle share the same campus address but have very different academic outcomes, suggesting factors beyond location drive performance. Per-student spending also varies widely, with Riverside Drive Charter spending the most but not achieving the highest scores, highlighting differences in how resources are utilized across these charter schools.
