Summary

Broadway Elementary is a top-performing K-5 public school serving 546 students in Venice, California, within the Los Angeles Unified school district, consistently ranking in the top 3% of all elementary schools in the state.

The school stands out for its exceptional and consistent academic excellence, with student proficiency rates in English, Math, and Science that are dramatically higher—often by 20 to 45 percentage points—than both district and state averages.

It effectively supports all learners, maintains better attendance rates than the district average, and delivers exceptional value. For parents, Broadway offers a proven, neighborhood school program that reliably prepares students for academic success.

Amazing school! My daughter is in 3rd grade in the Mandarin Immersion program and my second daughter will join next year in K. I can’t say enough how great the Mandarin program is.

Principal Wang is an extremely dedicated Principal, she is very responsive and returns parents emails within hours. She has selected amazing, dedicated teachers who truly love teaching and children, they are hard-working and completely dedicated to dual language education: for example, this year, my daughter’s English teacher has been awarded LAUSD best teacher of the year and is California Teacher of the year finalist. My daughter still talks a lot about her teacher in K who she loves and she is excited her little sister will be in K soon.

The children spend half of the day in English with an English teacher and then half the day in Mandarin with the Mandarin teacher, it is a true immersive education and they learn everything in both languages (science, maths…). We are Caucasian and not Mandarin speakers, my daughter loves Mandarin, she not only speaks (apparently with a very good accent according to native speakers) but she also reads and writes. Writing chinese characters has developed her fine motor skills.

The school is also a true cultural experience and immerse children in a different cultural, for example, around Chinese New Year, the campus is beautifully decorated, cultural activities are organized with the help of parents… Being immersed in a totally different culture make the children more curious, more understanding and appreciative of other cultures and difference, developing empathy as well as developing their imagination, creativity, critical and creative thinking.

The Mandarin Immersion program is absolutely excellent in English as well, as proved by the very high test scores in English that places the school in the top 10 LAUSD schools the hard-working teachers are constantly adapting to all the children making sure they all learn and develop a life-long love for learning.
