School Overview

Melrose Avenue Elementary sits in one of LA's most culturally vibrant neighborhoods, where the creative energy of West Hollywood bleeds into the eclectic stretch of Fairfax and beyond — and the school reflects that spirit with genuinely strong academics across the board. Science scores in particular stand out, landing in the top 3% statewide, making it a great fit for families who want rigorous learning without leaving the heart of the city. It's the kind of neighborhood school that draws in parents who love urban life but still want a grounded, community-feel campus for their kids.
