Summary

Mar Vista Elementary is a K–5 school in the Mar Vista area of Los Angeles, part of Los Angeles Unified, with 590 students. Its latest results put it well above state and district proficiency levels in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The clearest distinction is science: Mar Vista leads nearby schools and exceeds the state by 43 percentage points.

Mar Vista is near the top of nearby schools in all three subjects: second in ELA and math, and first in science. Its proficiency is 84% in ELA, 80% in math and 79% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. It also exceeds district rates—48% in ELA, 40% in math and 32% in science—and nearby-school averages of 61%, 61% and 49%. Clover Avenue scores higher in ELA and math, while Richland Avenue is the next-highest nearby school in science.

Results have stayed strong over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA was essentially unchanged, math rose 3 percentage points and science rose 12. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 13% in 2021–2022 to 5% in 2025–2026, below the latest state rate of 18% and district rate of 23%. SchoolDigger gives Mar Vista five stars and ranks it 118th of 5,804 schools, at the 98th percentile; Clover Avenue also reaches the 98th percentile, while the district is at the 54th percentile with three stars. Context for families: the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.0, near the nearby-school average of 20, and 15% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the lowest reported share among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness percentile for Asian students, its measure of how well the school serves that group, rose from the 54th percentile in 2018–2019 to the 86th in 2025–2026.
