Summary

Wilton Place Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 297 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, located in a high-need area where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school's state rankings have fluctuated but show recent improvement, currently performing better than several nearby schools with similar student populations, such as Hobart Boulevard Elementary and Los Angeles Elementary. A major strength is its special education program, which ranks significantly above average statewide. The school also benefits from a lower student-teacher ratio and spends more per student than most surrounding schools. However, it faces a pronounced challenge in science proficiency and a notable performance gap between female and male students.

An interesting comparison is with the higher-performing Charles H. Kim Elementary nearby, which achieves stronger academic results with lower per-student spending, suggesting instructional practices and school culture are key factors. While Wilton Place has made good progress in reducing chronic student absences, this rate remains higher than at some top local schools. The school's recent upward trend in its ranking is a positive sign that ongoing efforts may be taking hold.
