Editing Temple City, California (section)

== Education ==
Most of Temple City is served by the [[Temple City Unified School District]] (TCUSD), although a significant portion of the resident students attend schools in Arcadia Unified School District and some attend school within the [[El Monte City School District]]. The Temple City Unified School District consists of seven schools, including La Rosa, Cloverly, Emperor, and Longden Elementary Schools; [[Oak Avenue Intermediate School]]; [[Temple City High School]]; and the Doug Sears Learning Center.

Cleminson Elementary School is physically located within the city limits of Temple City but is actually part of the El Monte City School District. Additionally, Emperor Elementary School, while part of the Temple City Unified School District, is physically located within an unincorporated region of Los Angeles County and carries a San Gabriel postal address.

The Temple City Board of Education proclaims their district as "A District of Distinguished Schools" because every school in the Temple City district has been designated a "distinguished school" by the [[state of California]], at some time. This honor indicates that Temple City Schools are in a higher [[percentile]] in categories such as academics, deportment and other scholastic activities.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/sr/cs/ |title=California School Recognition Program (CA Dept of Education) |publisher=Cde.ca.gov |date=July 16, 2010 |access-date=August 12, 2010}}</ref>

Saint Luke's Parish School, grades K–8, is located on the grounds of Saint Luke the Evangelist Church, at Broadway and Cloverly. It was founded in 1947. Temporary structures, which were formerly army barracks donated from a parish in North Hollywood housed the new school. A permanent school was opened in 1956 and by 1958 sixteen classrooms were completed.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.stluketemplecity.org/id121.html |title=St. Luke Catholic Church |publisher=Stluketemplecity.org |access-date=August 12, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100703054322/http://www.stluketemplecity.org/id121.html |archive-date=July 3, 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
