Summary
Normont Elementary serves 270 students in grades K–5 in Harbor City and is part of Los Angeles Unified. Its 2025–2026 proficiency results were 37% in ELA, 33% in math and 20% in science, all below state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. Results are improving, but the main takeaway for families is that proficiency remains below both state and nearby-school levels, particularly in science.
Among nine nearby Los Angeles Unified K–5 schools, Normont ranked second-lowest in ELA and math and third-lowest in science. Compared with nearby-school averages, its results were 9 points lower in ELA, 12 lower in math and 14 lower in science; science is its weakest relative result. Against the state, math is the closest, 5 points behind, compared with 12 points in ELA and 16 in science. Fourth-grade math stands out: 46% were proficient, slightly above the state’s 42% and district’s 45%, and higher than at most nearby schools. In contrast, third-grade math was 29%, versus 47% statewide and 50% in the district. Nearby averages include schools with different grade spans, so they are not all exact matches.
Scores have risen since 2022–2023: ELA gained 12 points, math 9 and science 10, while the gaps to the state narrowed. SchoolDigger ranked Normont 3,658th of 5,804 California schools, at the 37th percentile and with 2 stars in 2025–2026; its percentile rose from 20 in 2022–2023. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 18 in 2024–2025, tied for the lowest reported among nearby schools. It reported that 59% of students were directly certified for free meals in 2024–2025, a measure that is not comparable to nearby schools’ free/reduced-lunch eligibility figures. SchoolDigger’s ranking for African American students was at the 75th percentile, up from the 35th percentile in 2023–2024—substantially above the school’s overall percentile and indicating stronger statewide standing in how well it serves this group.
