LAUREL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Laurel Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Los Angeles, CA with about 285 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 13 teachers, Laurel Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 21:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Laurel Elementary, located at 925 N. Hayworth Ave. in West Hollywood, is a unique "span school" within the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) that serves students from transitional kindergarten through 8th grade. By encompassing both elementary and middle school years, the campus fosters a close-knit, K-8 community that allows for greater continuity in a student's academic and social development. The school emphasizes a well-rounded educational experience, aiming to provide a supportive environment that prepares students for the transition to high school.

The school is noted for its diverse student body and its commitment to integrating core academics with enrichment opportunities. As part of the LAUSD system, it focuses on meeting state educational standards while leveraging its location to engage the local community. Parents and guardians often choose Laurel for its smaller, more personalized atmosphere compared to larger secondary schools, and the institution maintains a focus on fostering both character development and academic achievement throughout the formative middle school years.
