Summary

Wisdom Elementary is a Los Angeles Unified K–6 school at 1125 East 74th St. in Los Angeles, enrolling 648 students. The most important takeaway is that its 2025–26 proficiency results were below state and district levels in all three subjects—especially science—even though the school generally ranks near the middle of nearby schools.

Compared with nearby schools, Wisdom is slightly above average in ELA and math: its proficiency rates were 37% and 34%, about 2 percentage points above the nearby averages, and it ranked 5th of 11 in ELA and 6th of 11 in math. Science proficiency was 19%, essentially even with the nearby average, also ranking 6th of 11. In comparison with the state, Wisdom was 12 points lower in ELA, 4 points lower in math and 17 points lower in science; its gaps versus Los Angeles Unified were 11, 5 and 13 points. Results also differ by grade: sixth-grade ELA reached 52%, above state and district rates, while third-grade ELA was 22%, about 22 points below both.

Scores have improved since 2022–23: ELA rose 8 percentage points, math 10 and science 8, though science dropped in the latest year after a prior increase. SchoolDigger places Wisdom at the 41st percentile statewide, rank 3,436 of 5,804, with 2 stars; its percentile is up from 27 in 2022–23, but remains fifth among the nearby schools.
