School Overview

Tucked into the quiet, working-class community of Hawthorne — just a few miles from the beach cities of the South Bay — 138th Street School is a quietly strong elementary serving grades 3 through 5 in the well-regarded Wiseburn Unified District. Families in this part of LA County appreciate that Wiseburn punches above its weight academically, and 138th Street's solid scores across English, math, and science reflect a district that takes instruction seriously. It's a good fit for families planting roots in a neighborhood that offers a more grounded, community-feel alternative to the pricier beach towns nearby.
