Summary

Elysian Heights Elementary School Arts Magnet serves 401 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Los Angeles and is part of Los Angeles Unified. Its clearest strength is that 2025–2026 proficiency was above both state and district rates in English language arts (ELA), math, and science.

Math is the school’s strongest result compared with nearby schools: it ranked third among nine schools with comparable scores, with 55% proficiency—15 percentage points above the district and 16 above the state. ELA proficiency was 63%, 15 points above the district and 14 above the state; the school ranked fourth locally. Science was 44%, 12 points above the district and 8 above the state, but ranked fifth locally, making it the least distinctive of the three subjects in this comparison. Third grade was a particular bright spot: Elysian Heights had the highest nearby ELA and math results for that grade, at 68% and 67%.

Results have improved in ELA over time, but math and science have recently dipped: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 13 percentage points, while math rose 4 overall but fell 8 points from its 2024–2025 high; science fell 10 points overall, including a 15-point drop from the previous year. The school remained above state rates in all three subjects in each of those four years. SchoolDigger ranks it 1,313th of 5,804 schools, at the 77th percentile with four stars. Its reported student-teacher ratio was 22.2 in 2024–2025, the highest among nearby schools with a reported ratio. The school reported that 40% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the lowest rate among the ten nearby schools with the same measure and year. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Hispanic Students is below the school’s overall standing: the group ranked at the 54th percentile versus 77th overall, though the group’s ranking rose 15 points from 2023–2024.

Both my sons go to this school and ignore the figures on this site the teachers are AMAZING. One just won teacher of the year in LA. It's now an arts magnet and the art, pottery, music and theatre my kids get to experience is incredible along with excellent academics. Fantastic, caring principal, lots of extracurriculars like gardening club and running club, great involved parents and a lovely campus. You'd be lucky to get in apply for the magnet lottery as soon as you can!!! Close Quote
