Winnetka Avenue Elementary

Winnetka Avenue Elementary sits in Canoga Park, a working-class neighborhood in the western San Fernando Valley where families tend to put down roots and stay. The school serves a largely Latino community and, like many LAUSD schools in this part of the Valley, faces real academic challenges — test scores sit below the state median across English, math, and science. Families who are deeply involved in their child's education and willing to supplement learning at home or through outside programs will likely get the most out of what the school has to offer.
