Summary

Point Vicente Elementary is a highly-rated K-5 public school serving 334 students in the prestigious Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District in Rancho Palos Verdes, consistently ranking in the state's top 10%.

Academically, the school performs well above state averages, with over 79% of students proficient in English and an impressive 82% proficient in math—a rate that actually exceeds the district average. While schools like Cornerstone at Pedregal Elementary and Soleado Elementary may have slightly higher overall test scores, Point Vicente serves a more economically diverse student population and shows exceptional effectiveness, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide for its performance with Hispanic students and in the mid-90s for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Notable strengths include outstanding 3rd-grade math scores and consistent year-to-year performance. Areas for community focus include reducing chronic absenteeism, which, while improved, is higher than at neighboring schools like Silver Spur Elementary, and strengthening 5th-grade science instruction. With mid-range per-student spending and a favorable student-teacher ratio, Point Vicente offers a compelling blend of strong academics, notable equity, and diversity within an exceptional district.
