I left the east coast last year with my daughter as a single parent. I have no regrets and don't plan on ever moving back. Since you need an elementary school the only one I can recommend (based on my research and feedback from parents at my daughter's middle school whose kids attended there) is Carpenter Charter in Studio City. You would have to move into the school boundaries in order to attend. Here's a list I compiled to help with my research:

Wow thank you for the many resources you provided. This will be a great help.
Did you know anyone upon moving to LA, or were you completely on your own?

I was on my own. My daughter is 13 so she's more of a help now that she's a teenager...well not so much for my nerves but in other ways she helps...lol. I needed a change of environment and I was soooooooo tired of snow and cold weather. The after school program in the LA county schools are FREE and you have until 6pm to pickup. I would highly recommend to live close to where you work...traffic here is brutal.
