Gridley Street Elementary

Gridley Street Elementary sits in San Fernando, a tight-knit working-class city in the northern corner of the San Fernando Valley that has a strong sense of community pride and deep Latino roots. The school's science scores stand out compared to its other subjects, suggesting there's some genuine hands-on learning happening there, even as English and math scores reflect the broader challenges facing many schools in this part of LA Unified. Families who are rooted in the San Fernando community and looking for a neighborhood school where their kids can grow alongside local friends will feel right at home here.
