School Overview

Nelson Elementary sits in La Puente, a working-class community in the eastern San Gabriel Valley where families tend to put down deep roots and stay connected to the neighborhood for generations. The school faces real academic challenges, with scores in English and math sitting below most of its peers statewide, so families who prioritize strong academics may want to look carefully at the data and ask questions about support programs during a visit. That said, for families already in the area, getting involved in the classroom and building relationships with teachers can go a long way in making the most of what the school has to offer.
