Summary

Loma Portal Elementary is a public elementary school in San Diego, California, serving 367 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the San Diego Unified School District, which is ranked 588 out of 1,565 districts in the state.

Loma Portal Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Smarter Balanced Assessments. For the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 54.55% to 68.42% in ELA and 56.9% to 62.69% in Math, compared to 52.92% to 53.98% and 50.35% to 55.42% for the district, and 44.21% to 45.7% and 42.26% to 46.3% for the state. However, the school's performance for Hispanic and low-income students has been more variable, suggesting a need to address achievement gaps. Chronic absenteeism, while decreasing, remains an area of concern, ranging from 16.2% to 24.9% in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Grant K-8 and Sunset View Elementary also rank highly, while some other nearby schools, such as Cabrillo Elementary and Dewey Elementary, have lower academic performance and higher rates of students from low-income backgrounds. Loma Portal Elementary has seen an increase in per-student spending, from $13,967 in 2020-2021 to $18,353 in 2023-2024, which may be contributing to its strong academic outcomes.
