WHO WE ARE!!!
Tucked away in a small residential Granada Hills neighborhood, Danube Avenue Elementary School is an island of cultural diversity and educational excellence. Our campus, grades kindergarten through fifth, is characterized by a commitment to high expectations for all learners. We implement strategies focused on creating independent thinkers, problem solvers, and responsible citizens. The success of our commitment is illustrated by rising test scores making a cumulative jump of 206 points in eight years. Additionally, we have made great strides toward closing the achievement gap. All statistically significant groups met or exceeded their annual goals breaking the stereotypes with Title 1 schools.
Beyond test results and academic achievement, we emphasize educating students to be respectful, caring, and responsible. Danube celebrates a diverse population represented by African American, Asian American, Filipino American, Hispanic/Latin and White students who work and play together. Sixty-five percent of students are Title 1 eligible and 21% are English learners. This diversity is an integral component of a community in which students, parents, and faculty are enriched through their experiences with others in academic settings, in the arts and in our multicultural programs.
Danube stresses collaboration through active parental involvement. Parents participate in decision-making through councils, fundraising, volunteer activities, and the PTA. More than 95% participate in at least one school activity annually. Strong partnership with the North Valley Family YMCA provides additional support for our students in the form of child care, Homework Club, and psychomotor program for students in all grades.
Danube Elementary School's mascot, the Roadrunner, exemplifies the speed with which our students are individually and collectively moving forward. Their future has a strong foundation based on academic excellence, respect for self and others, and a commitment to lifelong learning. With a staff and community focused on keeping all students moving in the right direction, Danube Avenue Elementary School has no intention of slowing down-EVER!
