Summary

Hermosa Elementary is a K–5 school with 442 students in Alta Loma, California, in the Alta Loma Elementary District. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were above California’s in math, English language arts (ELA), and science, but its results are not equally strong across grades. The clearest concern is fifth grade, where math proficiency was 45%—11 points below the district and the third-lowest among nearby schools with same-grade data.

Math is Hermosa’s strongest subject in comparison with its district and nearby schools: 58% met the standard, about 5 points above the district and close to the nearby-school average. ELA is the clearest comparative weakness: 61% met the standard, 7 points below the district and 2 points below the nearby average of 63%. Science proficiency was 48%, about 2 points below the district and close to the nearby average. Still, the school was above California in all three subjects—by 20 points in math, 11 in ELA, and 12 in science. Fifth-grade ELA was also near the bottom locally: 55%, third-lowest among nearby schools with comparable results.

Longer-term results are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, math rose 4 points, ELA fell 3 points, and science fell 14 points, though science improved from 44% in 2024–25 to 48% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger ranks Hermosa in the 79th statewide percentile with 4 stars, sixth among 11 local schools; its rank has stayed between the 76th and 81st percentiles in recent years. Chronic absenteeism fell from 26% in 2021–22 to 11% in 2025–26, matching the district and below California’s 18%. In 2024–25, 40% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the student–teacher ratio was 26, compared with a nearby-school average of 24.7. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a notably lower statewide standing for Asian students: 29th percentile, compared with 79th overall. Its ranking for White students was also lower, at the 51st percentile.
