Summary

Bellingham Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 390 students in North Hollywood within the Los Angeles Unified district, notable for its strong upward academic trend in a high-need community.

The school has shown impressive improvement, climbing from a 1-star to a 3-star rating since 2018, with particular strength in mathematics where it outperforms both the district and state averages. It is highly effective with Hispanic and low-income students and has dramatically reduced chronic absenteeism. However, challenges remain in English Language Arts and Science proficiency, and there is a notable performance gap between male and female students that the school is working to address.

Compared to nearby schools, Bellingham's math scores are competitive, often exceeding those at Coldwater Canyon Elementary or Julie Korenstein Elementary. While some local charter schools like ISANA Palmati Academy have higher overall ratings, Bellingham offers a compelling traditional public school option with proven success for specific student groups and a positive trajectory of growth.
