Summary

Alta Loma Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 381 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, showing a notable history of improvement from once being among the lowest-ranked schools in the state to now performing in the middle among its nearby peers.

Academically, the school's test scores in English, math, and science are below district and state averages, placing it at the 31st percentile statewide. However, it sits in a neighborhood with extreme performance differences; it significantly outperforms the lowest-ranked Arlington Heights Elementary but trails the higher-performing Queen Anne Place Elementary. A major success story is chronic absenteeism, which the school has dramatically reduced from 47.7% to 20.9% in just three years, a better improvement rate than any nearby school and now below the district average.

The school spends a relatively high amount per student—$31,892—which is more than several higher-achieving neighbors, indicating that spending alone does not guarantee top results. Alta Loma shows particular strength in supporting its Hispanic students, who perform near the state average, and has shown potential in science instruction. The school faces significant challenges in serving students with special education needs and has seen highly inconsistent results year-to-year for English Language Learners, suggesting these are key areas for focus as the school works to continue its upward trajectory.
