Named after the legendary math teacher who inspired the film *Stand and Run*, Jaime Escalante Elementary carries a name with a lot to live up to — and it holds its own, particularly in math, where it outpaces many schools in the surrounding southeast LA area. Cudahy is one of the most densely populated cities in California, a tight-knit, working-class community where neighbors know each other and local pride runs deep. Families rooted in the area who want a solid neighborhood school with a meaningful legacy behind it will feel right at home here.
