Residents can dive into Palo Verde Pool in the northeastern portion of the park or cool off in the splash pad near the pool. If the sun rays are too much to bear, locals can still work up a sweat indoors at LA Fitness or Chuze Fitness, both walkable from the neighborhood.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
