Lassen Elementary

Lassen Elementary serves 392 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in North Hills, California. It earns a composite score of 9.0 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — and ranks 220th among 9,533 public schools statewide. That puts Lassen ahead of 98% of California public schools, a margin that positions it firmly among the top tier of elementary schools in the state.

Student growth is the standout metric, scoring 9.4 out of 10. That figure captures how much students advance relative to academic expectations year over year — not simply where they start when they walk in the door. Academic performance scores 8.2 out of 10.

Schools that post high academic scores often show weaker growth, and the reverse is equally common. Lassen holds strong numbers on both. Within North Hills, Lassen ranks first among 14 public schools.

At the state level, it places 182nd among 5,817 California elementary schools. The student-teacher ratio of 18.7 to 1 sits broadly in line with California public school norms. Lassen operates as a regular public school with no selective admissions; enrollment follows standard district assignment boundaries.
