Wedgeworth Elementary

Wedgeworth Elementary is one of those schools that quietly punches well above its weight — sitting in the 96th percentile statewide, it's a genuine standout in a district that serves a wide swath of the San Gabriel Valley. Hacienda Heights is a family-friendly, suburban corner of LA County with a strong sense of community and easy access to the foothills, appealing to families who want a quieter pace without straying too far from the city. Parents who prioritize rigorous academics across the board — English, math, and science all score in the mid-to-upper 90s — will find Wedgeworth worth seeking out, and the kind of school that makes staying in the neighborhood an easy decision.
