Third Street Elementary

Tucked into the heart of the Larchmont Village neighborhood, Third Street Elementary is one of those schools that genuinely lives up to its reputation — strong across the board in English, math, and science, and consistently ranking among the very best elementary schools in California. The area itself is one of LA's most walkable and community-minded pockets, with tree-lined streets, a beloved farmers market, and a real neighborhood feel that's rare for a city this size. Families who prioritize academics but still want that tight-knit, local school experience tend to find exactly what they're looking for here.
