About Brockton Avenue Elementary

Brockton Avenue Elementary serves 203 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Los Angeles, California. The school earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — driven by a near-perfect growth score of 9.9 and an academic score of 8.5. The numbers tell a precise story.

Brockton Avenue ranks #67 out of 9,533 public schools in California, outperforming 99% of schools statewide. Within Los Angeles, it places #15 of 563 public schools — a result that holds regardless of grade level or school type. Among California elementary schools specifically, it ranks #61 out of 5,817, confirming that its performance isn't an artifact of a small or selective student body.

With 203 students and a student-teacher ratio of 20.3:1, the school operates at a scale where individual students stay visible. The growth score of 9.9 carries particular weight here — it measures how much students advance academically year over year, not just where they start. That distinction matters for families: growth reflects teaching quality more directly than raw proficiency, which tends to track demographics.

At Brockton Avenue, both metrics point in the same direction.

What Parents Should Know

The student-teacher ratio at Brockton Avenue Elementary is 20.3:1, which is higher than the national average. This may mean larger class sizes, so parents should ask about classroom support, teaching assistants, and how the school differentiates instruction for students who need extra help.
