Summary

Virginia Road Elementary is a K–5 school in Los Angeles with 217 students. Its strongest and most important result is mathematics: 61% of students were proficient in 2025–26, far above state and district rates.

Math and ELA are both local strengths, while science is the clearest weakness. Virginia Road’s math proficiency was 23 percentage points above California and 21 points above Los Angeles Unified; among nearby schools with reported results, only Mid-City’s Prescott School of Enriched Sciences scored higher. ELA proficiency was 52%, above the state by 2 points and the district by 3, and second among nearby schools with reported results. In science, 20% were proficient, 16 points below the state and 12 below the district, as well as below the nearby-school average of 23%.
