National city placement

Middle-of-corpus city profile

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Woodland Hills has more public-school enrollment than 84% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Woodland Hills sits in the broad middle of the national city distribution rather than at a single obvious extreme. Its scale, average Resource Investment Index, and staffing position need to be read together: a middle placement on one measure does not cancel a stronger or weaker result on another. The percentile panel makes those dimensions explicit, and the school table shows where the city aggregate breaks into materially different campus profiles.

The school portfolio is elementary-weighted

7 of Woodland Hills's 13 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 2 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

11 of 13 listed Woodland 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 58-point gap between Henry David Thoreau Continuation and Woodland Hills Academy 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.

El Camino Real Charter High accounts for 26.2% of all Woodland Hills public-school enrollment

That concentration means Woodland Hills-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: High. 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.

Woodland Hills school enrollment varies 69× across entities

Woodland Hills school enrollment ranges from 44 students (lowest) to 3,046 students (highest), a spread of 3,002 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.

Woodland Hills student-teacher ratio is 20.9:1 — 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.
