Summary

Ramona Elementary is a public elementary school in Hemet, California, serving 654 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Hemet Unified School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ramona Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, and underperformance among certain student subgroups. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently below the Hemet Unified School District and the state of California. Additionally, Ramona Elementary ranks in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools for several subgroups, including White students, English Language Learners, and Homeless students. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio, its performance has not shown significant improvement over the years.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Hemet Unified School District, Ramona Elementary appears to be one of the lower-performing schools. Schools like Winchester Elementary, Cawston Elementary, and Harmony Elementary consistently outperform Ramona Elementary on test scores and other key metrics. The data suggests that Ramona Elementary could benefit from targeted interventions and support in areas such as attendance, teacher professional development, and targeted academic support for struggling students, particularly in the underperforming subgroups.
