Thomas Jefferson Elementary

Tucked into the foothills neighborhood of north Burbank, Thomas Jefferson Elementary offers strong academics across the board, with science scores that stand out even among the school's already solid English and math performance. Burbank itself is a tight-knit, family-friendly city in the heart of LA County — close enough to the energy of Los Angeles but with its own distinct small-city feel, good parks, and a community that genuinely invests in its schools. Families who want a neighborhood school with real academic substance, without having to navigate the complexity of larger urban districts, tend to find Burbank Unified — and Jefferson in particular — a great fit.
