Luther Burbank Elementary

The address of Luther Burbank Elementary is 203 Fraiser Street in Roseland. There are 382 students in grades K–6 at the school. The student-teacher ratio is 19:1. Only 37% of people are good at math and 32% are good at reading. There are 52% female and 48% male. The school is set up on purpose to make people feel like they belong. The campus has a strong English Language Learner program that helps students connect their home languages to academic English. Teachers use culturally responsive teaching methods to make sure that the curriculum respects and reflects each student's background. The school also has a strong performing arts program, with drama and chorus, which helps students feel more confident. We have regular "Family Nights" to get parents involved in the classroom and build a connection between home and school. These things help make the school a warm and welcoming place where every child can grow. Prices for homes in the area range from $460,000 to $640,000. Parents often talk about how friendly the staff is and how good the after-school help is. This school wants to be one of the best elementary schools in California. Roseland is a neighborhood with a strong sense of identity and a history of people working together for the good of the community. Citywide efforts to make public transportation and pedestrian safety better are making the area more accessible for families. Housing is still some of the cheapest in the county, which helps families buy their own homes. Local markets and community centers are great places to learn about the culture of the area because they show how diverse the people who live there are. The school's role as a community anchor is very important because it gives people a safe and caring place to be in a part of the city that is changing quickly.

Luther Burbank Elementary highlighted for its 2025 Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) initiative, which effectively lowered student disciplinary incidents by 15%.
