Culver City Unified School District, abbreviated CCUSD, is a school district located in Culver City, California that serves approximately 6,500 pupils in a variety of schools.

The Culver City Unified School District primarily consists of five K-5 elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. It also includes an continuation high school, an independent study school, an adult school and a preschool program.

The current district superintendent is Dr. Alfonso Jimenez.

One elementary school, El Marino Language School, has both a Spanish and Japanese language immersion program. It is a blue-ribbon school in the US, with top students coming from it every year. Unlike the other four elementary schools in the district, El Marino does not have a neighborhood attendance area. Instead, admission is based on a lottery system in compliance with the California Education Code.[1]

The district includes Culver City and a portion of Los Angeles, California
