Sylmar Leadership Academy

Sylmar Leadership Academy sits in the northwestern corner of the San Fernando Valley, a working-class community with a strong sense of neighborhood pride and easy access to the foothills and Hansen Dam Recreation Area. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with English scores showing a bit more strength than math, making it a reasonable option for families in the area who want a K-8 experience with a leadership-focused identity built into the curriculum. Families who value keeping kids in one school through middle school — avoiding the transition shuffle — and who are rooted in the Sylmar community will likely find it a familiar, comfortable fit.
