Summary:
The Hermosa Beach City Elementary district is home to three high-performing schools: Hermosa Valley Elementary, Hermosa View Elementary, and Hermosa Vista. These schools serve students from grades 2 through 8 and have consistently ranked among the top schools in California.
Hermosa Valley Elementary, a middle school, stands out as the district's top performer. It has been ranked among the top 150 middle schools in California for the past three years and has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly higher than the state averages, with over 80% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and over 70% proficient or better in Mathematics. Hermosa Vista, an elementary school serving grades 2-4, is also a high-performing school, having been ranked among the top 500 elementary schools in California for the past two years and maintaining a 5-star rating.
While the district as a whole is performing exceptionally well, there are some areas of concern. The chronic absenteeism rates for Hermosa Valley Elementary and Hermosa View Elementary are higher than the state average, which could be an area for the district to address. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios, while within a reasonable range, vary across the three schools, with Hermosa View Elementary having the lowest ratio.
