What are the top rated elementary schools in Laguna Niguel, CA?
Hello! Thank you for your request for a list of the top rated elementary schools located in Laguna Niguel, California. You will see a deep dive of my findings below.
METHODOLOGY
For this report, I relied on a number of sources, such as Great Schools, School Digger, School Ratings, and Private School Reviews, which evaluate and rank area schools at the elementary-, middle-, and high-school levels. Based on your request for only the top-rated schools, I included only those schools which earned a rating of at least 7 out of 10 on Great Schools, and 4 out of 5 on School Digger.
A typical Wonder list consists of 7 to 10 items. For this report, I have compiled a list of the top six elementary schools in Laguna Niguel, California. I was only able to locate six because the remainder of elementary schools in Laguna Niguel were rated too low to be considered for this list. Should you want a more extensive list, or a listing of the top rated middle- and high-schools, please feel free to submit a second Wonder request and a researcher will pick up where I've left off.
