Christopher Dena Elementary

Christopher Dena Elementary sits in the East LA neighborhood of Los Angeles, a tight-knit, predominantly Latino community with deep roots and a strong sense of local pride. The school shows some relative strength in math compared to its English scores, and families who are engaged and looking to be active partners in their child's education may find a welcoming community here. East LA has a rich cultural identity — from its murals to its local taquerias — and for families already planted in this neighborhood, Dena can be a familiar, community-connected home base for their kids' early schooling years.
