Los Cerritos Elementary School

Los Cerritos Elementary, which is part of the Long Beach Unified School District, is a school for kids in kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has around 500 to 540 students, with the student-teacher ratio at about 22 to 1, which helps us with structured classroom teaching. The state data shows that about 45-50% of students are good at reading. For math, it's roughly 40-45%. The students come from all walks of life, and it's pretty evenly split between guys and girls, about half and half. 

Los Cerritos Elementary focuses on building a solid base in reading and math and supports kids through social and emotional well-being. Teachers really team up with families to make sure kids feel supported, safe, and into learning. The surrounding neighborhood is really stable, with homes nearby usually going for around $750,000 to $1.2 million, and it means a lot of families could stay together over the long haul. Los Cerritos Elementary gives kids a really good start with a strong, caring atmosphere, thanks to steady teaching and everyone pitching in. This school is the best school in California.
