The public stack
All three West Hills elementary charters are affiliated charters — neighborhood boundaries, no lottery. Welby Way adds a gifted/high-ability magnet (application-based seats beyond its boundary). Hale and ECR complete the path; ECR's boundary covers most but not all of West Hills, with the remainder feeding Canoga Park High — exactly the kind of line that moves list prices between adjacent streets.
The Chaminade factor
Chaminade College Preparatory's high school campus sits on Woodland Hills' border in West Hills, making it the only west-Valley village with a top private prep in walking distance of family streets. Families planning private from the start can therefore buy on value streets (zone-independent) — a meaningfully different search than the charter-zone hunt.
