School Overview

Laurel Elementary sits in the quieter, residential eastern side of Whittier — a city that has a strong sense of local pride and a surprisingly tight-knit feel for being so close to the LA sprawl. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with math being a relative strength, making it a decent option for families looking for a stable neighborhood school without the pressure of a highly competitive environment. It tends to appeal to families who value community roots and want their kids in a school where they're likely to grow up alongside the same classmates year after year.
