About Vine Street Elementary

Vine Street Elementary is a public school in Los Angeles enrolling 228 students from kindergarten through sixth grade. It earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — Exceptional — and the data supports the rating. The school ranks 37th out of 563 public schools in Los Angeles and sits in the 99th percentile statewide, outperforming all but 118 of California's 9,533 public schools.

Growth is where Vine Street separates itself most sharply. Its growth score of 9.9 out of 10 means students here consistently advance well beyond expected trajectories — a pattern that holds regardless of where students start academically. That kind of growth isn't just impressive on a scorecard; it reflects sustained, effective instruction year over year.

The academic score of 7.9 confirms that strong proficiency accompanies that momentum. With 228 students and a student-to-teacher ratio of 17.5 to 1, class sizes stay workable. Los Angeles parents weighing elementary options will find very few public schools in the city that combine top-tier growth with solid academic performance at this enrollment size.

Vine Street earns its Exceptional rating on the merit of the numbers alone.
