Mark Twain Elementary is truly a school that instills a genuine sense of pride and success shared by all - students, staff, parents, volunteers, and the community. We strive to promote academic success in Literacy and Math as well as to promote well-being and health through Physical Education, the Nutrition Network and positive behavior by practicing Outstanding Attitude Respectful Safe (O.A.R.S). Furthermore, we shape our students to be critical thinkers in the Sciences, Arts and Technology.
Mark Twain also houses the only Dual Language Academic Strand within the Lawndale Elementary School District. Within this strand, we strive to promote pride and success through delivering a strong immersion standards-based program which supports our students in becoming bilingual, biliterate, and bi-cultural. We hold annual recruitment meetings for this program which continues to fill spaces quickly and draws students from all over Lawndale.
