Summary

Wilshire Crest Elementary is a small public K-5 school serving 154 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, known for its significant year-to-year changes in academic performance compared to more stable neighboring schools.

The school shows remarkable strengths in early grades, with its 3rd graders scoring well above average in math and English, but this success does not consistently carry into 4th and 5th grades, where proficiency rates, especially in math, drop sharply. This pattern of grade-level disparity is more pronounced here than at nearby schools like Saturn Street Elementary or Wilton Place Elementary. Furthermore, while the school spends more per student—over $38,000—than any other school in the comparison, this high investment yields mixed academic results, unlike Third Street Elementary which achieves top-tier outcomes with significantly lower spending.

Wilshire Crest has shown a strong recovery from pandemic-era challenges, notably reducing chronic absenteeism, though its rate remains higher than some peers like Queen Anne Place Elementary. The school's science scores lag behind the district and state, an area where schools with similar demographics, such as Wilshire Park Elementary, perform better. Overall, parents will find a school with clear potential in the lower grades but notable inconsistency in upper-grade outcomes compared to other local options.
