Without question one of the many reasons people want to live in Torrance is the highly ranked Torrance Unified School District. From the elementary schools to the highly regarded high schools, the district has a lot to offer and always ranks high in state test scores. Both South and West High were recently named one of the Top 500 Public High Schools by Newsweek.
