School Overview

Tucked into the laid-back, beach-adjacent neighborhood of Mar Vista, Short Avenue Elementary is a strong academic choice in a part of LA where families put down real roots. With English and Math scores landing in the top 15% statewide, it draws parents who want serious academics without straying too far from the westside's relaxed, community feel. If you're raising kids in the shadow of Venice and Culver City, this is the kind of neighborhood school that makes the decision to stay in LAUSD an easy one.
