Almond Elementary

Public Grades K-6

239^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,804 California Elementary Schools

Better than 96% of California elementary schools

Summary

Almond Elementary serves 354 students in grades K–6 in Los Altos, within the highly ranked Los Altos Elementary district, which SchoolDigger ranks ninth among California districts. SchoolDigger ranks Almond 239th among California schools, in the 96th percentile with five stars. The main takeaway is that Almond’s test results are well above state levels, but below its district and several nearby schools.

In 2025–26, Almond’s proficiency was 79% in English language arts, 79% in math and 72% in science—29, 41 and 36 percentage points above the state, respectively. But it trailed the district by 8 points in ELA, 8 in math and 11 in science. Almond scored above the average of nearby schools with current results, yet ranked sixth among 10 schools in ELA and math and seventh in science. Fourth grade was a bright spot: Almond’s ELA result was 88%, nearly even with the district’s 87%, and its math result of 86% was its strongest grade-level score. Sixth grade was a relative weakness against nearby district schools, with Almond at 79% in ELA and 76% in math, below each of the four schools’ results in those subjects.

Over time, Almond’s state advantage has narrowed even though it remains substantial: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, its ELA result rose 2 points, while math fell 2 and science fell 6; in all three subjects, the district gap widened. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking remained at the 96th percentile in 2023–24, 2024–25 and 2025–26, though Almond ranked sixth locally in 2025–26. Its 18.5 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25 was below the nearby-school average of 19.7. Almond reported 12% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a notable gap for Low Socio Economic Status Students: 49th percentile in 2023–24 versus 96th overall that year. For Asian Students, it ranked at the 80th percentile in 2023–24 and 81st in 2025–26, below the school’s 96th-percentile overall ranking in both years.
