Summary:

This analysis covers eight public schools in the 91605 zip code of North Hollywood, all part of the Los Angeles Unified district, serving a high-need community with six elementary schools (K-5), one middle school (6-8), and one specialized K-12 alternative center.

Among the elementary schools, Arminta Street Elementary stands out as the highest performer, with the best academic scores and lowest chronic absenteeism, while Saticoy Elementary and Coldwater Canyon Elementary have seen recent declines in their statewide rankings. The sole middle school, James Madison Middle, is notable as the most improved, having raised its rating and percentile rank significantly in the past year.

Overall, these schools are well-funded but their average test scores lag behind district and state averages, with science being a particular area of weakness. Chronic absenteeism is a common challenge, though Arminta Street Elementary and Julie Korenstein Elementary have better attendance rates. The Charles Leroy Lowman Special Educational and Career Transition Center serves a specialized population with a very low student-teacher ratio and substantially higher per-student funding.
