Summary

Ramona is a K–5 school in Hawthorne Unified, serving 767 students in a community where nearby schools vary widely in size and test results. In 2025–26, it earned 3 stars and ranked at the 66th percentile statewide on SchoolDigger. Its clearest strength is math: 52% of students were proficient, well above the state and district rates.

Ramona performed above the average of nearby K–5 schools with scores in all three subjects, with its biggest advantage in math. Math proficiency was 52%, compared with 41% for nearby peers, 35% in the Hawthorne district, and 38% statewide; only Del Aire scored higher among the nearby K–5 peers. In science, Ramona reached 40%, above the peer average of 30%, district’s 27%, and state’s 36%. ELA was 48%, above the peer average of 46% and district’s 44%, but 1 percentage point below the state’s 49%. So, the school is a local strength across subjects, while ELA is the area where it falls just short of the state.

Results have moved in different directions over four years: math rose 5 percentage points, from 47% in 2022–23 to 52% in 2025–26, while ELA edged down 1 point, from 49% to 48%, despite improving from 45% in 2024–25. Science rose 2 points over four years and rebounded 9 points in the latest year. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking rose from the 58th percentile in 2024–25 to the 66th in 2025–26. Its subgroup rankings show particularly strong statewide standing for African American students (94th percentile) and Hispanic students (84th), compared with 66th overall; an older ranking for Disabled Students was lower, at the 29th percentile in 2021–22. For context, the school’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 25.5, and 75% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with 89.3%–93.6% at the other listed Hawthorne K–5 schools.
