School Overview

Tucked into the Westchester neighborhood just a few miles from LAX, Kentwood Elementary punches well above its weight in a city full of strong schools, landing in the top 5% statewide in both English and math. Families in this tight-knit, residential corner of LA tend to be deeply invested in their kids' education, and it shows in the school's consistently strong outcomes across the board. It's the kind of place where the suburban-feeling streets, nearby Bluff Creek trails, and a genuine sense of community make it easy to forget you're in the middle of one of the world's busiest cities.
