Vernon City Elementary

Vernon City Elementary serves 135 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in Los Angeles, California. With a student-teacher ratio of 19.3 to 1, the school maintains small class sizes that support individual attention across all grade levels. The school earns a composite score of 9.4 out of 10, rated Exceptional, driven by a 9.1 academic score and a standout 9.8 growth score.

That growth figure signals students here are advancing faster than peers at nearly every school in the state. Vernon City ranks 44th out of 9,533 public schools in California and sits 14th out of 563 schools in Los Angeles County, placing it among a very small group of top performers in one of the most competitive education markets in the country. For families comparing elementary options, the numbers are direct: Vernon City ranks 43rd out of 5,817 California elementary schools.

A 9.8 growth score combined with that statewide rank makes this school one of the strongest academic environments available in Los Angeles. Parents prioritizing both demonstrated achievement and year-over-year student progress will find Vernon City's data profile difficult to match at the elementary level.

With an enrollment of 135 students, Vernon City 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.
