Summary

Ramona Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 767 students in the Hawthorne School District, maintaining a solid 3-star rating while serving a community where many families face economic challenges.

The school stands out for its strong academic results, particularly in math and science where it outperforms the district average, and for its excellent record on student attendance, with the lowest chronic absenteeism rate among comparable Hawthorne schools like Washington and Eucalyptus. Ramona achieves this with efficient use of resources, spending less per student than several neighboring schools. It shows notable strength in supporting specific groups of students, and its performance is more consistent across grade levels than some nearby schools.

While Ramona is one of the stronger options within its own district, there is a noticeable performance gap when compared to schools in the neighboring Wiseburn Unified district, such as Aviation Elementary, which serve communities with different economic profiles. Areas for attention include a performance gap between male and female students and supporting students with disabilities. Overall, Ramona demonstrates resilience and effective strategies in serving its community.
