Nestled on a bungalow-lined residential street in the northeast section of Montecito Heights, Latona Avenue Elementary serves students from kindergarten to sixth grade. A state-approved preschool is also on campus.
The school is smaller, with around 160 students attending. Latona Avenue’s nickname as the College Bound Panthers emphasizes the school’s goal to prepare its student body for college and careers.
The school boasts several accolades, including an award for continued improvement of student performance in math and language arts. Latona Avenue was also listed as a top school in Los Angeles by SchoolSparrow.
The school offers a range of activities that include an elementary robotics program, an after-school STEM program for girls and movie nights. Students can also participate in a theater program where they write plays, and with the help of mentors, stage and perform their creative works.
The school’s recreation areas include a large, paved area with several lined courts.

My two daughters attend this school. It's a small, cozy campus with very committed teachers. The kind of school where many of the teachers have also been students years ago. Highly Recommended.
