Lankershim Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in North Hollywood, CA with about 414 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
