School Overview

Sutter Middle sits in Canoga Park, a working-class corner of the western San Fernando Valley where families tend to put down roots and stay. The school serves a predominantly Latino community and, like many LAUSD middle schools in the area, faces real academic challenges — scores in English and science hover around the 12th–20th percentile statewide. Families who are proactive about supplementing classroom learning and plugging into available district resources will likely get the most out of what Sutter has to offer.
