Summary:
The city of Hermosa Beach, California is home to a high-performing school district that serves students from elementary through middle school. The district consists of Hermosa Valley Elementary, Hermosa View Elementary, and Hermosa Vista, all of which demonstrate strong academic outcomes and a diverse student population.
Among the three schools, Hermosa Valley Elementary stands out as an exceptional middle school, consistently ranking among the top 150 middle schools in California and significantly outperforming state averages on standardized tests. With over 75% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, Hermosa Valley Elementary provides a high-quality education to its diverse student body, which is composed of 48-64% white students, 12-16% Hispanic students, and 16-30% students of two or more races.
The broader Hermosa Beach City Elementary district also demonstrates strong academic performance, with both Hermosa View Elementary and Hermosa Vista outperforming state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The relatively low rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 7.02% to 7.49%, suggest that the Hermosa Beach community is generally affluent, which may contribute to the schools' strong academic outcomes. While the district's chronic absenteeism rates are slightly higher than the state average, the overall quality of education provided by the Hermosa Beach schools is commendable.
