Summary

Rossmoor Elementary serves 540 students in grades K–5 in Los Alamitos, in a community with several nearby elementary and K–8 school options. Its results are well above California averages overall, but performance varies notably by grade: third grade is the clearest concern, with proficiency much lower than in fourth and fifth grades.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools and the district: 74% of students were proficient in 2025–26, ranking third among 11 nearby schools and 11 percentage points above Los Alamitos Unified. It was also 38 points above the state. Math proficiency was 73%, ranking fourth locally and 4 points above the district and nearby-school average. ELA was 77%, 27 points above the state and 3 points above the local average, but nearly level with the district and sixth among nearby schools. The third-grade dip is especially pronounced: ELA proficiency was 62%, versus 82% in fourth grade and 84% in fifth; third-grade math was 65%, and the school ranked second-lowest locally in both third-grade subjects.

Over the four years from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA proficiency fell 2 percentage points and math fell 4, while science rose 10 points. SchoolDigger ranks the school 492nd of 5,804 statewide, in the 92nd percentile with 5 stars; that is strong, though below nearby leaders such as Jack L. Weaver Elementary and Richard Henry Lee Elementary. Its 25.7:1 student-teacher ratio is second-highest among nearby schools, compared with their 23.4:1 average. The school reported 18% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. A notable subgroup change is that SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Asian students fell from the 84th percentile in 2024–25 to the 50th in 2025–26, 42 percentile points below its overall ranking.
