Westwood are the zoned elementary schools serving Bel Air. Bel Air is within the attendance boundaries of
Emerson Middle School in Westwood and
University High School, West Los Angeles. In April 1983, an advisory committee of the LAUSD recommended closing eight LAUSD schools, including Bellagio Road School. The committee did not target Fairburn Avenue School in Westwood, as a way of allowing it to preserve its ethnic balance, and so it could take children from Bellagio Road in case it closed. In August 1983, the board publicly considered closing Bellagio, which had 240 students at the time. The school's enrollment had been decreasing, but the board had voted in May to keep the school open. In February 1984, after the composition of the board had changed, it voted to close the school. Bel Air formerly housed the Bellagio Road Newcomer School, a 3rd–8th grade school for newly arrived immigrants. In 2002, it had 390 students from Armenia, China, El Salvador, Guatemala, Korea, Russia, and other countries. This program was housed in the former Bellagio Road school.
