Lemay Street Elementary

Tucked into the quiet, family-friendly neighborhood of Lake Balboa — one of the more laid-back corners of the San Fernando Valley — Lemay Street Elementary sits comfortably in the middle of the pack for LA Unified, with solid English and Math scores that outperform many schools in the district. Families who love the area's suburban feel, proximity to the lake and parks, and a genuine sense of community will find Lemay a dependable neighborhood school. Science scores have room to grow, so families who prioritize STEM might want to ask questions during tours, but for those rooted in this part of the Valley, it's a well-rounded option in a genuinely livable pocket of Los Angeles.
