Rowan Avenue Elementary

Rowan Avenue Elementary sits in the East Los Angeles neighborhood of 90023, a tight-knit, predominantly Latino community where families have deep roots and a strong sense of place. The school faces some academic headwinds, scoring in the lower third statewide, but it serves a neighborhood that values hard work and community connection — and families who are engaged and proactive can help their kids thrive here.
