Eastman Avenue Elementary

Eastman Avenue Elementary sits in the working-class East LA neighborhood of 90023, a tight-knit community with deep roots and a strong sense of cultural identity. Academic scores here run below the state median, so families who prioritize test performance may want to weigh their options, but the school serves a community where many kids are navigating English language development alongside core subjects — no small undertaking. Families already planted in this corner of Los Angeles will find a school that reflects the neighborhood it calls home, embedded in a dense urban area close to downtown with easy access to the broader city.
