School Overview

John W. Mack Elementary sits in the heart of South Los Angeles, a dense, historically rich neighborhood that's home to longtime residents and families connected to nearby USC. The school serves a community that faces real academic challenges, and families considering it should know that test scores fall below state averages — though many local families value the tight-knit, neighborhood feel and the school's deep roots in the surrounding community.
