Summary

Normont Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 270 students in Harbor City as part of the Los Angeles Unified district, operating in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school is on a clear upward trend, improving its statewide ranking from the 13th to the 35th percentile over several years, which is a stronger improvement pattern than nearby schools like Fries Avenue Elementary or Hawaiian Avenue Elementary. It shows particular strength in effectively educating its student population, with Hispanic students and those from low-income families performing at the 51st percentile statewide. The school also made dramatic progress reducing chronic absenteeism, cutting the rate by more than half since 2022.

Despite having the highest per-student spending in the area at over $35,000, academic outcomes remain moderate compared to some neighboring schools. For example, Lomita Math/Science/Technology Magnet achieves much higher test scores with significantly lower spending. Normont faces specific challenges in science proficiency and shows uneven performance across different grade levels, indicating where targeted support could help continue its positive trajectory.
