“The Lake Balboa Neighborhood Council supports Bassett Street School and rejects the co-sharing of the campus with a charter.”

Families within the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) have many choices for the education of their children. The parents of 625 students in the Lake Balboa area of the San Fernando Valley have decided that Bassett Street Elementary School is the best option for their families. For some, this is because of the high-quality after-school programs that ensure that their children are well taken care of while they work. Others are attracted to the robotics team which went to the world championships in 2017. The special education program draws in other families. The Media Arts and Technology Magnet program attracts so many students that it currently has a waiting list.
