The LA School Research Platform Parents Trust
Stop spending hours on GreatSchools and Facebook groups. EarlyScouts gives you deep, honest reports on hundreds of LA schools — covering test scores, feeder pipelines, Scout Takes, and parent reviews — plus transfer playbooks that replace the $500 consultant.
This is what a good school decision looks like.
Scout Take
Broadway is quietly one of the best-kept secrets on the Westside. With 79% math proficiency (more than double the LAUSD average) and a Mandarin dual-language program that starts in Kindergarten, it punches well above its weight. The trade-off? No buses, limited after-school care, and a campus that's showing its age. Still, for families willing to manage the logistics, this is one of the most academically compelling public options in Los Angeles.
Every school gets an honest, unfiltered editorial opinion.
| School | Math | ELA |
|---|---|---|
| Mar Vista Elementary | 86% | 80% |
| Grand View Blvd Elementary | 45% | 55% |
| Beethoven Street Elementary | 48% | 60% |
| Edison Language Academy | 67% | 72% |
| Broadway Elementary | 79% | 85% |
