About Escuela Plus Elementary

Escuela Plus Elementary serves 80 students from kindergarten through fifth grade in Los Angeles, offering an intimate learning environment with its impressive 11.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio and seven full-time equivalent teachers. This regular public school has earned recognition with a strong 9.0 out of 10 MySchoolScout rating and ranks #459 out of 1,790 elementary schools statewide, placing it in the 74th percentile among California schools.

Escuela Plus Elementary operates within this dynamic large city setting, providing elementary education in one of California's most vibrant metropolitan areas.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 80 students, Escuela Plus Elementary is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

As a private school, Escuela Plus Elementary operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
