Summary

Wonderland Avenue Elementary is a Los Angeles K–5 school in Los Angeles Unified, serving 435 students. Its clearest distinction is its 2025–2026 achievement: it had the highest all-grades proficiency rates in English language arts (ELA), math and science among itself and the nine nearby schools in the comparison.

The school’s strongest comparative results are in science and math: 90% of students were proficient in science and 91% in math, compared with the next-highest nearby results of 76% and 85%, respectively, at Carpenter Community Charter. Wonderland also led in ELA, at 90% versus 87% at Carpenter. Its margins over the state were largest in science (54 percentage points) and math (53 points), and smallest in ELA (40 points); it also exceeded district results in all three subjects. Third-grade ELA is a relative soft spot: Wonderland’s 80% was below Carpenter’s 93% and Colfax Charter Elementary’s 87%, though well above the state’s 44%. Wonderland then led nearby schools in fourth- and fifth-grade ELA.

These results fit a consistently high overall standing: SchoolDigger ranked Wonderland 28th of 5,804 California schools in 2025–2026, at the 100th percentile with five stars; it had also received five stars and ranked in the 100th percentile in each of the prior two years. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA eased by 2 percentage points, while math rose by 4 and science by 6; science’s latest result followed an 9-point rebound from 2024–2025. Context measures offer a fuller picture: the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 24.1, higher than at six nearby schools, and 27% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-lowest nearby figure for that measure and year. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for Multi-racial Students improved from the 82nd percentile in 2024–2025 to the 96th in 2025–2026, close to the school’s overall 100th-percentile standing.
