For parents seeking an enriching school experience in the country’s second largest city, Dahlia Heights is a unique and academically excellent K-6 school in the heart of Los Angeles’ Eagle Rock neighborhood.

Dear Dahlia Families,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to this new school year and to our website. Please be sure to check this website weekly for school and PTA news.

Our goal at Dahlia Heights Elementary School is to challenge your children intellectually and help them grow socially. Teachers and staff work hard to create a challenging and supportive learning environment for all students. We work hard to help students achieve their potential. For those struggling to meet California State Standards, we have a strong intervention program. In addition to our focus on academic achievement, we are proud of our new computer lab, which was funded through Annual Fund donations and Title I funding. 

Our school has a reputation for creativity, respect for the environment, support for music and art education, and commitment to the community. Dahlia teachers are creative individuals who inspire their students through sharing their talents—be it painting, gardening, pottery making, or movie making. Our school also has an award-winning recycling program and fundraisers to help both the school and the community.

Dahlia Heights has a very supportive and involved parent community. We believe that a strong partnership between our school, the classroom and home is critical to individual student and school success. We encourage and invite you to participate and volunteer in our school. Without the support and involvement of parents and families our school could not function effectively. Working together enhances our school.


Our PTA is a wonderful organization for you to join and a great way to get involved. Meetings are usually held the second Tuesday of each month. By attending monthly PTA meetings you will feel informed and a part of our school. I look forward to seeing you at our PTA meetings!

To stay in the know, be sure to regularly check this website—especially the Important Dates and News section on the Home Page, as well as the PTA page. Information is also sent home in your student’s folder each Thursday. Please be sure to check your child’s backpack weekly for school and PTA news.

I am excited to work with our returning families and to get to know the new families. Dahlia Heights Elementary School is a special school and I hope you and your child will love it as much as I do. I look forward to great things happening this year!

Warm Regards,

Rona Greenstadt, Principal
