Telfair Avenue Elementary

Tucked into the working-class neighborhood of Pacoima in the northeastern San Fernando Valley, Telfair Avenue Elementary serves a tight-knit, predominantly Latino community where family involvement and cultural pride run deep. The school shows some relative strength in science compared to its English and math scores, which may appeal to families looking for a neighborhood school with room to grow and a community-first feel. Pacoima itself has a strong sense of local identity, and families who are rooted here tend to value the school's role as a genuine neighborhood anchor.
