Schools of El Segundo
By Dr. Don Brann
The City of El Segundo is blessed to
host a variety of types of schools—public
(both traditional and charter), private and
parochial. (Note: St. Anthony’s closed
its school (K-8) in June.) The top-rated
El Segundo Unified School District (ESUSD)
operates five public schools, including
Arena High (9-12). For elementary-age
students, Center and Richmond offer
kindergarten through grade 5 while El Segundo
Middle covers grades 6-8. The iconic El
Segundo High School serves students in
grades 9-12.
Vistamar School, grades 9-12, is a private
school in the City. It was founded in 2005,
primarily by parents from Manhattan and
Hermosa Beach. It serves very few El
Segundo residents. Tuition is near $40,000
annually. Vistamar draws students from across
the region and offers a personalized “worldclass”
education. Also, small private Schools,
like Futures Academy and Waterhouse Guild,
operate branches in El Segundo.
As I noted in my column #3, the portion
of the City east of PCH is located in the
Wiseburn Unified School District (WUSD),
a 125-year-old public school district.
Technically, Wiseburn is a K-12 school district,
but it has never operated the 9-12 high school
grades. Instead, the WUSD Board signed
an agreement (after 2014 when Wiseburn
was finally able to unify and secede from
Centinela Valley Union High School District)
with the independent charter school Board of
Da Vinci (DV) Schools. The WUSD serves
grades K-8 in four schools, all located near,
but east of El Segundo. The Da Vinci High
Schools - Communications, Design, Science
and Connect / DV Extension (DVX) - are
located in El Segundo. Da Vinci offers half
a dozen different school options ranging
from remote learning to five days a week
“brick and mortar” classes and covers grades
K-12, plus higher education. Da Vinci has
a regional draw and serves families living in
110 different zip codes, but its main focus
is 90250 and 90304, whose WUSD students
are guaranteed admission.
It is interesting that just 15 years ago,
the only high schools operating in the City
of El Segundo were those in ESUSD. Two
high schools – El Segundo and Arena - have
now grown to seven high schools in the
City! Starting in 2005, Vistamar School,
an independent or private school serving
families from the Beach Cities and elsewhere,
opened its doors after securing a conditional
use permit from the ES City Council. Their
