School Overview

Tucked into one of the South Bay's most sought-after beach communities, Meadows Avenue Elementary sits at the very top of California's elementary school rankings — and the families who live here know it. Manhattan Beach is a sun-drenched coastal town with strong civic pride, and that same energy pours into its schools, where parent involvement is high and academic expectations are even higher. Families who prioritize rigorous academics alongside an active, outdoorsy lifestyle — surf lessons after school, weekend farmers markets, and a tight-knit neighborhood feel — will find Meadows Avenue hard to beat.
