History

Ivanhoe Elementary has served the community since 1889. A Scotsman named Hugo Reid, upon seeing the rolling green hills of the area, (obviously this was in the winter!) thought they reminded him of the hills of his homeland in Scotland. He named the area after a famous Scottish novel called, of course, "Ivanhoe", by Sir Walter Scott. The area is now called Silver Lake after the Department of Water and Power's Silver Lake Reservoir, which is one of the few open water reservoirs in Los Angeles.
