Valley Charter Elementary is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in North Hills, CA with about 264 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 12 teachers, Valley Charter Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 22:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
