Latona Avenue Elementary

Latona Avenue Elementary sits in the El Sereno neighborhood, one of those quietly proud eastside communities that longtime Angelenos tend to love for its close-knit feel and easy access to both Downtown LA and the Eastside's vibrant food and arts scenes. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, making it a solid neighborhood option for families who value being part of an established community rather than chasing rankings. It's the kind of place that appeals to families putting down roots in El Sereno, where the neighborhood itself — with its tree-lined streets and strong sense of local identity — is as much a part of the experience as the classroom.
