Is Rio Vista Elementary in Studio City?
I like to call Rio Vista the other school in Studio City. Rio Vista Elementary was built in the 40’s and boasts an ever increasing API score of 830, a campus of just over 400 students and quaint Spanish architecture. Undoubtedly you’ve heard of Carpenter Ave, but it’s likely you have never heard of this wonderful school nestled next to Weddington Park in a quiet little neighborhood only a hop, skip and a jump from Universal Studios. Sometimes called the “island” because it is situated between Studio City and Toluca Lake, you’ll find this community bordered by Vineland on the West, Whipple on the North, Lankershim on the East and the 101 Freeway (buffered by the park) on the South. Even the neighbors are confused, sometimes referring to their home being in Toluca Lake, sometimes Studio City and others North Hollywood. In fact, the zip code of 91602 adds even more confusion, since some of North Hollywood falls within this zip. And to top of the mystery of Rio Vista’s exact locale, you just have to look at the front of the school where it clearly states “North Hollywood.” Then there’s the Beverly Garland Holiday Inn—only a stone’s throw away—that also boasts a North Hollywood (as well as Universal City) address.
Well I’m not a big fan of ambiguity so I decided to do some research. Los Angeles is made up of many neighborhoods. Unlike incorporated cities such as Burbank, Glendale and Beverly Hills, most of the “cities” in Los Angeles are really what is known as a Neighborhood Council (NC for short). After a bit of online digging, I came across a map for the Studio City Neighborhood council. Upon close inspection, you’ll find that Rio Vista Elementary clearly falls within the boundaries of Studio City.
Now boundaries are always prone to fluctuate at the influence of local residents and elected officials. (A perfect example is that Sherman Oaks just extended their Northern boundary one more time.) But as for now, from what I can tell, this sweet little school resides squarely in Studio City.
