ACADEMICS: RECOGNITION & ACHIEVEMENTS
Did you know...
Walgrove Avenue School is one of the few
Elementary schools on the Westside to meet
every one of the 21 criteria of the Annual
Yearly Progress requirements established
by the Federal Government.
Expanded programs in Math, Science, and
Visual Performing Arts place Walgrove’s
curriculum on par with Los Angeles area
Magnet schools which specialize in those
disciplines.
When ranked by the State of California with similar schools, Walgrove has a student achievement ranking of 10. Walgrove has continued to rise in API every year for the
past consecutive 5 years.
Walgrove is a Title I Achieving School (only
13 schools within LAUSD received this
distinction.)
In recognition of Walgrove’s
increased achievement, the school received
$124,000 from the federal government to
maintain growth efforts and to share strategies/
resources with lower-performing schools.
We are proud to be the Recipient of the
Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) Grant for the
past 7 years
. This grant allows the school to
give away free reading books to every student
twice a year.
Six fifth grade Walgrove students have been awarded academic scholarships to New Roads Middle School in the past 2 years.
Walgrove music students have won 7 music
scholarships within the last 3 years from the
Los Angeles Music Teachers Association. Our
students have performed at Disneyland, the
Music Center, the Governor’s Ball for the
Academy Awards, the Santa Monica Mall, and
numerous other venues.
