Summary

Seaside Elementary is a highly-regarded K-5 public school serving 548 students in the Torrance Unified School District, consistently ranking in the top 10% of all California elementary schools.

The school excels in creating an effective and supportive environment for all students, with particularly strong results for those receiving special education services and from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. It also boasts an exceptionally low rate of chronic student absences at just 4.5%, the best among its local Torrance Unified peers like Victor Elementary and Hickory Elementary, indicating a highly engaged school community. While nearby Walteria Elementary posts slightly higher overall test scores, Seaside distinguishes itself by achieving excellent and balanced outcomes across different student groups.
