Summary

Wilshire Crest Elementary is a K–5 school in Los Angeles Unified, serving 154 students in Los Angeles, California. Its 2025–2026 results were below both Los Angeles Unified and the state in all three tested subjects. The main bright spot is science, which was close to district results; overall, however, the school’s academic results trail state and district levels.

Science is also the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: proficiency was 32%, about even with the district and 4 points below the state, and 7 points below the nearby-school average. ELA was 34%, 15 points below the district and state and 18 points below nearby schools on average. Math was 29%, 11 points below the district, 9 below the state, and 21 below nearby schools on average—its weakest comparison with peers. There are some grade-level exceptions: fourth-grade ELA was 50%, 4 points above the state and district, while the school had the lowest third- and fourth-grade math results among ten same-district schools. Its fifth-grade ELA was also the lowest in that group.

Results have shifted over time: from the earliest to latest available years, ELA fell 13 percentage points and math fell 4, while science rose 20. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 50% in 2021–2022 to 27% in 2025–2026, but remains above district and state rates. SchoolDigger gives the school 2 stars and ranks it at the 33rd statewide percentile, ninth of ten nearby same-district schools with current rankings. It is the smallest school in that group, and its 19.2:1 student–teacher ratio is around the middle. In 2024–2025, 79% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the nearby-school average. SchoolDigger’s historical measure for how well the school serves Hispanic students shifted from the 67th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 13th in 2023–2024, then to the 30th in 2025–2026, near the school’s overall 33rd percentile.
