Thomas B. Moffitt Elementary

Norwalk is a working-class suburb in southeast Los Angeles County with a tight-knit, largely Latino community and deep roots in the area. Moffitt Elementary sits in the middle of that world, serving families who are invested in their neighborhood school even as academic performance scores land in the lower quarter statewide. Families looking for a school with a strong sense of community belonging — and who are prepared to supplement academics at home or through tutoring — may find Moffitt a comfortable fit within the Norwalk-La Mirada district.
