Summary

Grand View Elementary is a highly-regarded K-5 public school serving about 550 students within the top-tier Manhattan Beach Unified school district, located in an affluent coastal community in Southern California.

The school consistently delivers an excellent education, with student test scores in English, math, and science far exceeding state averages. While it is a top performer statewide, ranking in the 97th percentile, it is important to note that within its own high-achieving district, Grand View's academic results are solidly in the middle when compared to peers like Aurelia Pennekamp Elementary and Opal Robinson Elementary. A slight recent dip in its statewide ranking and a relatively higher student-teacher ratio are areas to watch. The school shines in its support for specific student groups, with exceptional statewide rankings for its special education students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to schools in neighboring districts such as Redondo Beach Unified or El Segundo Unified, Grand View significantly outperforms them academically. It maintains a very low chronic absenteeism rate, which has improved dramatically since the pandemic, though it is slightly higher than some district peers like Hermosa Vista. Overall, Grand View is a cornerstone of its elite district, providing a consistently strong foundation for its students.
