SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 96% of California elementary schools

Summary

Mar Vista Elementary is a top-performing K-5 public school with 590 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, consistently ranking among the best in California.

The school excels academically, with over 86% of students proficient in math and nearly 80% in English, far exceeding district and state averages. It stands out from many nearby schools, such as Palms Elementary and Charnock Road Elementary, in both test scores and its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 6.8%. Mar Vista achieves these outstanding results efficiently, spending significantly less per student than several neighboring schools. It also demonstrates strong support for all student groups, with high achievement across different demographics.

Interesting comparisons include Clover Avenue Elementary, a similarly high-performing neighbor, and the Citizens of the World Charter School Mar Vista, which has lower proficiency rates despite similar per-student spending. Mar Vista's sustained excellence over many years shows that a school within a large district can rival the performance of schools in higher-ranked districts like Santa Monica-Malibu Unified.
