Stagg Street Elementary

Stagg Street Elementary serves 434 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Van Nuys, California. It earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — anchored by a 9.2 academic score and a 9.6 growth score. That growth figure is the strongest signal here: it reflects consistent, measurable learning gains over time, not just a favorable student population or a single strong test year.

Measured against California's 9,533 public schools, Stagg Street ranks 78th statewide, outperforming 99% of public schools across the state. Within Van Nuys, it ranks first among 21 public schools. The school also places 70th among California's 5,817 elementary schools — a peer group that spans every funding level and demographic profile the state has to offer.

Landing in the top 1% of a state this large is a meaningful outcome, not a statistical accident. The school operates as a regular public school with a student-teacher ratio of 20.7 to 1. Enrollment stands at 434 across six grade levels.

The performance data tells a consistent story: high academic scores and strong growth running in parallel — two metrics that often trade off against each other but here move together.

The student-teacher ratio at Stagg Street Elementary is 20.7:1, which is higher than the national average. This may mean larger class sizes, so parents should ask about classroom support, teaching assistants, and how the school differentiates instruction for students who need extra help.
