of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 91% of California elementary schools

Summary

WISH Community is a highly-ranked K-8 elementary school serving 860 students in Los Angeles, operating within the top-performing WISH Community District.

The school consistently delivers strong academic results, outperforming state averages in English and Math, and stands out for its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.7%. It serves students effectively across diverse backgrounds and operates with notable cost efficiency, spending less per student than many neighboring schools. A key differentiator is its K-8 structure, providing continuity through middle school, unlike several nearby K-5 schools.

Interesting comparisons with local schools show that while Kentwood Elementary achieves exceptional academic rankings and El Marino Elementary has even lower absenteeism, WISH maintains a comprehensive excellence across all measured areas. The analysis suggests potential focus areas for WISH, including supporting math and science performance in the higher grades, as scores tend to decline in middle school compared to the strong results in earlier grades.
