Summary

Los Alamitos Elementary serves grades K–5 and enrolls 625 students in Los Alamitos, California. In 2025–26, its English language arts, math and science proficiency rates were all above California’s statewide results, but it placed eighth among 11 schools, including itself, in each subject. The most important takeaway is that strong results compared with the state do not make it a local leader: seven of 10 nearby schools had higher SchoolDigger percentiles.

Compared with nearby schools, Los Alamitos scored 67% in English language arts, 61% in math and 51% in science, against nearby averages of 70%, 66% and 58%, respectively. It was also below Los Alamitos Unified, whose results were 77% in English language arts, 69% in math and 63% in science. The school exceeded state results of 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively—by 18 percentage points in English language arts, 23 in math and 15 in science. Math is its strongest comparison with the state; science is its weakest against both nearby schools and the district. In grade-level math, results fell from 76% in third grade to 57% in fourth and 50% in fifth, while nearby averages were 71%, 67% and 61%.

Scores have weakened over the available four-year period: English language arts fell from 74% in 2022–23 to 67% in 2025–26, and math from 68% to 61%. Science was essentially unchanged overall, from 51% to 51%, but dropped 7 percentage points from its 2024–25 peak. SchoolDigger ranked the school 995th of 5,804, at the 83rd percentile with four stars; its percentile was 90 in 2021–22, and the district was at the 95th percentile. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Multi-racial Students was notably lower: the 42nd percentile in 2025–26, down from the 59th percentile in each of the two previous years, compared with 83rd overall. Context measures include a 24:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25, the third-lowest among the 11 schools, and 32% free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a 41% nearby average.
