School Overview

Buford Elementary sits in Lennox, a small unincorporated community tucked between Inglewood and El Segundo, just minutes from LAX — a tight-knit, working-class neighborhood with a strong Latino identity and a real sense of local pride. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with math scores that stand out as a genuine bright spot, making it a reasonable choice for families who want a neighborhood school with some academic footing. It's a good fit for families rooted in the community who value proximity and a familiar, culturally connected environment over the competition of more sought-after district options.
