Summary

Ramona Elementary is a K-8 school serving about 650 students in the Alhambra Unified School District, consistently ranking as a strong 4-star school that outperforms both district and state averages in English, Math, and Science.

The school truly excels in supporting specific student groups, achieving exceptional results for English Language Learners and students from lower-income families, even when compared to nearby schools like Martha Baldwin Elementary and William Northrup Elementary. It has also made impressive strides in improving student attendance, which has likely contributed to its steady rise in statewide rankings. While some schools in the area, such as Granada Elementary, have seen their performance dip, Ramona has shown a clear pattern of improvement over recent years.

Notable strengths include very high performance in 8th-grade English and 3rd-grade Math, as well as science scores that beat the district average. The school achieves these outcomes efficiently, spending less per student than some neighboring schools with similar or lower results. Parents can expect a stable, consistent learning environment where the school's methods are particularly effective for a diverse student body, making it a standout choice in the region.
