Summary:
The Culver City Unified School District consists of eight schools serving grades K-12, forming a generally high-performing public school system in the Los Angeles area that consistently exceeds state averages.
Among the district's standout elementary schools, Farragut Elementary is the top-rated, achieving the highest science scores and a 5-star rating, while El Marino Elementary boasts the district's best math proficiency and remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 3%. La Ballona Elementary, while still outperforming the state average, shows lower academic proficiency compared to its elementary peers. The district's comprehensive high school, Culver City High, delivers strong outcomes with a 97% graduation rate, though its math scores are an area for focus compared to its excellent English scores.
Notably, Culver Park High serves a unique role as a small alternative school with a 92% graduation rate, successfully guiding at-risk students to a diploma despite severe attendance challenges. A key finding across the district is a dip in math proficiency at Culver City Middle compared to the top elementary feeders, suggesting a potential transition challenge. Overall, the district's strength in English Language Arts and low chronic absenteeism at most schools are major assets supporting student success.
