Dyer Street Elementary

Dyer Street Elementary sits in Sylmar, the northernmost neighborhood of Los Angeles, where the San Gabriel Mountains form a dramatic backdrop and the community has a tight-knit, working-class character that sets it apart from the busier parts of the city. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, making it a solid, dependable choice for families in the area who want a neighborhood school with a genuine community feel. Families who value being close to nature — Sylmar is near hiking trails and open space — while still having access to everything a major city offers will find this corner of LA a surprisingly comfortable place to put down roots.
