Best Public Schools in Culver City, CA

Summary:

The Culver City, California area is home to 10 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Culver City Unified School District, except for two elementary schools that are part of the Los Angeles Unified School District. The data reveals several standout schools, including Farragut Elementary, which has the highest statewide ranking and proficiency rates, and El Marino Elementary, which has the lowest student-teacher ratio and very high proficiency rates.

The Culver City High School also stands out, with a strong 95.7% four-year graduation rate and 77.01% proficiency in English Language Arts, significantly above the state average. However, the two Los Angeles Unified schools, Braddock Drive Elementary and Stoner Avenue Elementary, lag behind the Culver City Unified schools on most metrics, suggesting disparities in resources and student outcomes between the two districts.

Overall, the Culver City Unified schools generally outperform the state averages on standardized tests, but there is a correlation between higher percentages of students eligible for free/reduced lunch and lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and lower statewide rankings. This highlights the persistent challenge of addressing educational inequities in the area.
