National city placement

Large system with a dominant campus

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Granada Hills has more public-school enrollment than 89% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Granada Hills sits near the top of the national city distribution by public-school enrollment, while Granada Hills Charter alone enrolls 38.6% of local students. The city total therefore does not describe a uniform market: one large campus materially shapes the aggregate, and the remaining schools operate at a different scale. Read the ranked table alongside each campus profile rather than treating the city mean as a typical school.

The school portfolio is elementary-weighted

7 of Granada Hills's 14 listed schools are elementary campuses. That composition means citywide enrollment and staffing averages are influenced more by early-grade operating patterns than by the city's 3 middle and 3 high-school records. Families comparing later grades should rely on those individual rows rather than the all-school mean.

Governance mix is central to a fair comparison

4 of 14 listed Granada Hills campuses are reported as charters, so district-run and charter records occupy substantial shares of the same city view. They may follow different governance, enrollment, and program structures even when their mailing city matches. The 38-point gap between Jane Addams Continuation and Robert Frost Middle should be read within that context, not as a single-system league table. Check charter status and district affiliation before comparing two nearby schools, and verify current admissions rules with the operator.

Granada Hills Charter accounts for 38.6% of all Granada Hills public-school enrollment

That dominant concentration means Granada Hills-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: Combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Granada Hills school enrollment varies 66× across entities

Granada Hills school enrollment ranges from 90 students (lowest) to 5,927 students (highest), a spread of 5,837 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Granada Hills student-teacher ratio is 21.1:1 — high (typically associated with larger urban scale or staffing constraints that have widened the headcount gap)

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
