One Hundred Twenty-Second Street Elementary

Tucked into a working-class South LA neighborhood, 122nd Street Elementary sits in a community where families are deeply invested in giving their kids a strong foundation. The school holds its own academically, with math scores that edge slightly ahead of its English performance, making it a solid choice for families in the 90061 zip code who want a neighborhood school with real roots in the community. South LA is a dense, active part of the city with easy access to major corridors, and for families putting down roots here, this school offers a familiar, accessible option without the hassle of navigating across town.
