Summary

Lomita Math/Science/Technology Magnet is a large, highly-regarded public elementary school (grades K-5) serving 853 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, consistently ranking in the top 20% of California schools despite serving a community with significant economic need.

This magnet school stands out dramatically within its own district, with proficiency rates in English and Math that are roughly 20 to 25 points higher than nearby Los Angeles Unified schools like Normont Elementary and President Avenue Elementary. It achieves these strong results while spending significantly less per student and maintaining an excellent record of supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with chronic absenteeism rates well below the district average.

When compared to high-performing schools in the neighboring Torrance Unified district, such as Walteria Elementary, Lomita Magnet's test scores are more comparable, though Torrance schools generally serve communities with lower poverty rates. The school's specialized focus on math, science, and technology, combined with its larger size and magnet enrollment, creates a uniquely effective and cost-efficient learning environment within the region.
