Summary

Ladera Palma Elementary is a K–6 school in La Habra, California, serving 583 students in a community with several nearby elementary-school options. Its chronic absenteeism was just 4% in 2025–26, the lowest reported rate among the 11 schools compared. Test results were mixed across grades: sixth grade performed well, while fifth-grade math was a concern. The clearest academic takeaway is that sixth grade is a relative strength, especially compared with fifth-grade math.

Against state and district benchmarks, math is the school’s strongest core subject: 42% of students were proficient, 4 percentage points above the state and 6 above the La Habra City Elementary district. ELA proficiency was 48%—1 point below the state but 5 above the district—while science was 35%, 1 point below the state and 3 above the district. Nearby comparisons are less favorable: the school’s results were below the nearby-school average by 2 points in ELA, 5 in math and 6 in science. It ranked sixth of 11 schools in ELA, seventh in math and sixth in science.

Results have improved since 2022–23 in ELA and math, but not steadily: ELA rose from 39% to 48%, and math from 39% to 42%. Science increased from 31% to 35%, yet the school went from 1 point above the state to 1 point below. SchoolDigger ranked the school 2,316th of 5,804 statewide, at the 60th percentile with 3 stars. Its group rankings show a notable contrast: the school ranked at the 76th percentile for Hispanic students in 2025–26, while its English Language Learner student ranking fell from the 72nd percentile in 2021–22 to the 14th in 2022–23, then rose to the 26th in 2023–24. The student-teacher ratio was 25.3 in 2024–25, second-highest among nearby schools; 70% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25.
