Summary:
Zip code 91607 has two listed elementary schools: Citizens of the World Charter School East Valley, serving kindergarten through grade 8, and Burbank Boulevard Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 5. Both reported all-grades English language arts (ELA) and math results for 2024–2025, giving families a same-year comparison. In that year, both schools’ ELA and math results were above California’s, with Citizens ahead of Burbank in each subject.
Citizens stood out in the 2024–2025 comparison, leading Burbank by 9 percentage points in ELA and 14 points in math. Citizens had 59% proficient in ELA and 56% in math, versus Burbank’s 49% and 42%; Citizens was also 10 points above the state in ELA and 19 points above in math. Burbank was just 1 point above the state in ELA and 5 points above in math. SchoolDigger ranked Citizens 1,459th out of 5,857 schools, at the 75th percentile with four stars in 2024–2025. Burbank was at the 56th percentile with three stars in 2025–2026, a lower standing than its 59th percentile in 2024–2025.
Burbank’s newer results show a different pattern by subject: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, its ELA score fell 6 points, leaving it 6 points below the state; math dipped by less than 1 point but remained 4 points above the state. Science rose 10 points, moving from 4 points below the state to 2 points above. The schools’ student-teacher ratios were similar: 21 at Citizens and 21.2 at Burbank. In 2024–2025, 38% of Citizens students and 82% of Burbank students were free/reduced lunch eligible. These are useful points of context, not explanations of achievement; grade-level results are from different years, so they do not support a direct grade-by-grade comparison between the schools.
