Summary

West Hollywood Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 313 students in the urban Los Angeles Unified district, known for its strong academic history and diverse community.

The school is a solid performer, currently ranking in the top 17% of all California elementary schools, though its statewide ranking has dipped from the top 10% over the past few years. Its most significant strength is its exceptional effectiveness with students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, where it consistently ranks in the top 7% statewide for that group. While nearby schools like Wonderland Avenue Elementary and Melrose Avenue Elementary have higher overall test scores, they serve a smaller percentage of students in need, making West Hollywood's achievement notable. The school also excels in student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate significantly better than the district and state averages and most nearby Los Angeles Unified schools.

When compared to schools in the neighboring Beverly Hills Unified district, such as Horace Mann Elementary, West Hollywood operates with far fewer resources per student and larger class sizes, yet maintains competitive academic results. Recent test scores show some volatility year-to-year, and performance varies across different student groups and grade levels, with science being a relative area for growth. Overall, West Hollywood Elementary stands out for its efficient use of resources and proven success in supporting a diverse student body, positioning it as a strong middle-to-upper performer within its local context.
