Summary

Grand View Elementary is a K–5 school in Manhattan Beach, California, serving 550 students in the coastal Manhattan Beach Unified area. Its achievement is strong across subjects, but results vary by grade: fifth-grade math is a notable local weak spot, despite high all-grades scores. In 2025–26, Grand View’s ELA proficiency was 89%, the highest among 10 nearby schools with results, and its clearest overall strength.

Grand View is especially strong in ELA compared with nearby schools, and its math results stand far above California’s overall. Math proficiency was 83%, 45 points above the state and 9 points above the district, though it ranked sixth among nearby schools. Fifth-grade math is the clearest concern: 79% proficient was 6 points below the district and lower than every nearby school with a reported result. Science proficiency was 78%, 42 points above the state and 8 above the district, but below the average of the four nearby schools in the same district. ELA also stands out against local peers: the school’s 89% overall result was above its district’s 84% and the state’s 49%.

Results have shifted unevenly over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose by 1 point, math fell by 2 points, and science rose by 6 points. Chronic absenteeism improved notably, dropping from 14% to 2%; the latest rate was below the district’s 8% and the state’s 18%. Grand View Elementary ranks 54th of 5,804 California schools on SchoolDigger, at the 99th percentile with five stars; the district ranks 13th of 968 districts. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 25.0, compared with a nearby-school average of 24.2. Free/reduced lunch eligible was 2% in 2024–25, the lowest among nearby schools reporting that same measure and year; these are context figures, not explanations for test results.
