Marvin Elementary

Marvin Elementary serves 520 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Los Angeles, California. The school carries a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — built on an academic score of 8.7 and a growth score of 9.5. The growth number is where Marvin stands out.

A 9.5 signals that students here are advancing faster than peers at nearly every school in the state. That performance places Marvin at #44 out of 563 Los Angeles public schools and #170 out of 9,533 across California — a position that outperforms 98% of the state. Few schools in one of the country's largest urban districts post results like that.

Marvin runs a student-teacher ratio of 20.8 to 1. For a regular public school serving a major urban district, that reflects a standard classroom load — yet the academic outcomes are anything but average. Among California elementary schools specifically, Marvin ranks #141 out of 5,817, a standing that confirms it competes at the highest tier however you cut the comparison.

Parents comparing schools in Los Angeles will find the numbers here difficult to overlook.

The student-teacher ratio at Marvin Elementary is 20.8:1, 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.
