Summary

Los Alamitos Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 625 students in the highly-regarded Los Alamitos Unified district, consistently earning a 4-star rating and performing well above state averages in English and Math.

Within its own district, the school's overall academic rankings are solid but lower than its sister schools like Jack L. Weaver Elementary, Richard Henry Lee Elementary, and Rossmoor Elementary. However, a key strength is its exceptional effectiveness with specific student groups; for example, its ranking for Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds places it in the state's top 10%, significantly higher than the school's overall ranking. This suggests the school has developed strong, targeted support systems.

When compared to schools in neighboring districts, Los Alamitos Elementary outperforms most, with only a few like Margaret Landell Elementary (in Cypress Elementary district) and Newcomb Academy (in Long Beach Unified) ranking higher. The school also shows a particular strength in science, where it recently beat the district average, and has made good progress in reducing chronic absenteeism.
