Regardless, you don't want your child to be the youngest in his/her kindergarten class.

I think all residential properties in El Segundo are in the El Segundo school district. The parts in the Wiseburn School District/Centinela Valley part have businesses.

I believe it is the same for El Segundo as long as the address is West of Sepulveda. Just mentioning because this is the case for many other school districts if you do not like your home school or LAUSD.

I've heard the elementary school in Hancock Park is fine. Around five years ago (dunno if it's changed) lot of the Asians send their kids to the middle school (the orthodox Jews wouldn't do such a thing), but it's high school when things get dicey.

Third Street Elementary School: http://www.greatschools.org/californ...entary-School/ - GreatSchools 10/10, API 946
Burroughs Middle School: http://www.greatschools.org/californ...Middle-School/ - GreatSchools 7/10 - API 859 - The school is 48% Hispanic, 30% Asian, 9% Black, 7% White

It's possible Burroughs has separate classes for higher achieving students
