School Overview

Birney Elementary sits in the heart of Redondo Beach, where beach-town laid-back living meets genuinely high academic expectations — a combination that's hard to find anywhere in Southern California. Scoring in the 95th and 96th percentiles in English and Math statewide, this is a school that consistently punches well above its weight, attracting families who want strong fundamentals without sacrificing that South Bay quality of life. If you're raising kids in this part of the 310 — weekend farmers markets, bike paths to the beach, and a tight-knit neighborhood feel — Birney is the kind of school that makes the decision to plant roots here an easy one.
