Summary:
The city of Canoga Park, California is home to 9 elementary schools serving grades K-5 or K-8, with a mix of public and public charter schools. These schools vary in size, with student enrollments ranging from 294 to 660 students, and serve predominantly Hispanic student populations from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Among the standout schools in the area, Limerick Avenue Elementary and Village Charter Academy have the highest statewide rankings and proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The Multicultural Learning Center, a charter school serving grades K-8, also performs well academically compared to the other schools in the area.
However, the elementary schools in Canoga Park face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.1% to 40.2%, which are much higher than the state average of 14.3%. Additionally, the majority of students across these schools come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with free or reduced-price lunch rates as high as 97.34%. Addressing these socioeconomic factors and improving attendance could be key priorities for the Los Angeles Unified district and the individual schools in the Canoga Park area.
