Wittmann (Helen) Elementary

Wittmann Elementary sits in Cerritos, one of those quietly exceptional suburbs in the southeast corner of Los Angeles County where families specifically relocate for the schools — and Wittmann is a big reason why. With near-perfect marks across English, math, and science, this K-6 school draws families who prioritize strong academics from the earliest grades and want their kids surrounded by peers who do the same. Cerritos itself is a well-kept, diverse community with a small-town feel despite being minutes from major freeways, and sending your child to Wittmann means joining a school community that genuinely takes learning seriously.
