Summary:

The Little Lake City Elementary district consists of nine public schools in Santa Fe Springs and Norwalk, serving about 3,500 students from kindergarten through 8th grade, and it ranks above average statewide despite serving a student population with high economic need.

Overall, the district's schools perform better than the California average in English, math, and science, with Lakeside Middle (the district's top-ranked school), Lakeland Elementary, and William W. Orr Elementary consistently leading in academic rankings. Lakeland Elementary stands out for having the district's best attendance rate and strong math scores, while Cresson Elementary shows remarkable improvement in upper grades, especially in 5th grade English.

While English scores are a strength across the district, math performance, particularly in the middle schools, is an area for growth, as proficiency tends to drop in 7th and 8th grades. Schools like Jersey Avenue Elementary and Paddison Elementary have shown strong improvement in recent years, contributing to the district's stable and above-average performance.
