Summary

Ramona Elementary is a K–6 school serving 454 students in Bellflower, California, in Bellflower Unified. SchoolDigger gives it 1 star and a 23rd-percentile statewide ranking for 2025–2026, placing it fourth-lowest among the ten nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism has improved substantially, but the most important concern is that Ramona’s test proficiency remains below both the state and district in all three subjects.

In 2025–2026, Ramona’s proficiency was 30% in English language arts (ELA), 26% in math, and 18% in science. It trailed state results by 19, 13, and 18 percentage points, respectively, and Bellflower Unified by 17, 5, and 8 points. Compared with nearby-school averages, Ramona was behind by 6 points in ELA, 7 in math, and 4 in science. Math is its strongest subject relative to the state and district, while science is closest to the nearby average; ELA has the largest district gap. Ramona ranked fourth-lowest nearby in ELA and third-lowest in math and science. Fourth-grade math is a particular concern: its 19% proficiency was the lowest among nearby schools with same-grade results.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell by 1 point, math by 2, and science rose by 5, while state results increased in all three subjects. Chronic absenteeism, by contrast, fell 27 points, from 46% in 2021–2022 to 19% in 2025–2026, the third-lowest rate nearby. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking has rebounded 7 points from its 2024–2025 low, but remains 31 points below its 2018–2019 percentile. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 23.8, compared with the nearby average of 22.1; 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, close to the nearby average of 89%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show stronger relative standing for English Language Learner Students: 83rd percentile in 2022–2023, versus 33rd for the school overall that year. Its Special Education Students ranking rose from the 1st percentile in 2024–2025 to the 18th in 2025–2026, while the overall ranking rose from the 16th to the 23rd percentile.
