Summary

Brentwood Science is a public elementary school (grades K-5) serving 224 students in the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in the affluent Brentwood neighborhood but serving a student population where over 80% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school is on a strong upward trend, improving its statewide ranking from the 40th percentile three years ago to the 63rd percentile in 2024-2025, with notable gains in English, math, and especially science proficiency. It performs well above both district and state averages in math and science, and it excels in educating students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with those students ranking in the 77th percentile statewide. A key challenge is chronic absenteeism, at 25.5%, which is higher than the district and state averages and is an area needing attention for further academic growth.

Compared to nearby schools, Brentwood Science receives significantly higher per-student funding ($35,735) than many high-performing neighbors like Kenter Canyon Elementary Charter or Franklin Elementary. Its most direct comparison is Brockton Avenue Elementary, a school with very similar demographics, where Brentwood generally shows stronger academic performance in English and science. Within Los Angeles Unified, Brentwood Science stands out as one of the stronger elementary schools, particularly given the economic needs of its student community.
