Summary

Marvin Elementary is a 503-student school serving grades K–5 in Los Angeles, where nearby options include several other elementary schools in Los Angeles Unified. In 2025–2026, Marvin’s proficiency rates were above both district and state levels in English Language Arts (ELA), math, and science. Its clearest distinction is that it led nearby LAUSD K–5 schools in ELA and science and ranked second in math.

ELA and science are Marvin’s strongest local results, while math is strong but not the neighborhood’s best. In 2025–2026, 62% of Marvin students were proficient in ELA, compared with 45% across nearby LAUSD K–5 schools, 48% in the district, and 49% statewide. Its 55% science proficiency was also the highest among those nearby schools, compared with 32% in the district and 36% statewide. Math proficiency was 58%, above the nearby-school average of 45%, the district’s 40%, and the state’s 38%; however, Virginia Road Elementary was higher at 61%. Fourth grade is a relative soft spot: Marvin’s fourth-grade ELA and math results were below several nearby schools, though still above state and district results. Fifth-grade ELA and math, by contrast, were especially strong.

Results have risen substantially over four years, but science has been uneven: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA gained 17 percentage points, math 22, and science 34; science fell sharply before rebounding to its latest high. SchoolDigger placed Marvin at the 79th statewide percentile and awarded it four stars in 2025–2026, the highest reported percentile among nearby schools; Carthay Elementary Of Environmental Studies Magnet was next at the 73rd percentile. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking was notably high for Hispanic Students (96th percentile) and lower for Special Education Students (58th), compared with Marvin’s overall percentile of 79. The school’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.8, tied for the highest reported nearby ratio, and 91% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year.
