Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 91504 include 14 schools—4 elementary, 5 middle and 5 high—with all-grades results available for 2024–2025; the three Burbank schools also have 2025–2026 results. Across the 14 schools, average scores were just above state results in English language arts (ELA), math and science, but only 7 schools exceeded the state in ELA, 6 in math and 8 in science. The most important finding is how sharply results differ from one school to another, especially in math, where the top-to-bottom gap was 64 points.

PUC Milagro Charter had the strongest overall profile in 2024–2025: 82% in ELA, 80% in math and 65% in science, with results about 43, 33 and 33 points above state levels. PUC Lakeview Charter High led ELA at 83%, 34 points above the state, but its 36% in math was 2 points below state. At the lower end, PUC Inspire Charter Academy had the lowest ELA and math results, at 33% and 16%; PUC Excel Charter Academy had the lowest science result, 14%. These contrasts show why a strong result in one subject should not be taken as a sign of equal strength in every subject.

Recent results varied by school: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, George Washington Elementary improved in all three subjects, including ELA from 44% to 50%, while Thomas Jefferson Elementary declined in all three, including ELA from 63% to 55%; John Muir Middle remained strong and improved in each. SchoolDigger rankings rose for 11 of the 14 schools from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, but PUC CALS Middle School and Early College High fell from the 80th to the 45th percentile. Low-income shares, reported as free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025, ranged from 23% at Jefferson to 97% at Inspire; results varied widely among schools with high shares. Class-size context varies too: the student–teacher ratio ranged from 13.9 at CALS to 26.5 at Jefferson, without a consistent match to stronger results.
