Summary

Maywood Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 426 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, located in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school is a standout success story, achieving a 4-star rating and ranking in the 71st percentile statewide—its highest in over a decade and significantly better than nearly all nearby schools like Heliotrope Avenue Elementary and Huntington Park Elementary. Its students are more proficient in English, math, and science, and the school has dramatically reduced chronic absenteeism to just 10.1%, far below the district and state averages.

Most impressively, Maywood Elementary excels at supporting all its students, with those from low-income families, those in special education, and English learners all performing at high levels compared to peers across California. Despite having similar student demographics and moderate per-student spending compared to schools like Nueva Vista Elementary or Bandini Elementary, it delivers consistently strong results across all grade levels, demonstrating that effective teaching and support can lead to exceptional outcomes.
