Summary

Raymond Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 598 students in the Fullerton Elementary district, and it stands out for its strong and steadily improving academic performance, especially in supporting students from diverse backgrounds.

The school is particularly effective, ranking in the 87th to 90th percentiles statewide for its work with English learners, students from low-income families, and those in special education, significantly outperforming nearby schools like Richman Elementary and Woodcrest Elementary which have similar student populations. This success is supported by an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 4.6%, showing high student engagement, and is achieved with notably efficient spending—about half the per-student cost of some comparable schools for better results.

Raymond's academic profile shows a strength in English Language Arts, where 64% of students are proficient, outperforming state averages, while mathematics and science present areas for continued growth. The school's consistent rise from a 2-star to a 4-star rating over the past decade demonstrates sustainable improvement, positioning it as a compelling choice for families seeking a supportive and effective educational environment in Fullerton.
