Summary

Ramona Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 273 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 796 out of 1,565 districts in the state.

Ramona Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools, with low academic performance on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics. The school struggles to support its diverse student population, with subgroups like English Language Learners and Special Education students performing significantly below state and district averages. Additionally, Ramona Elementary has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 20.4% to 30.8% over the past few years, well above the state and district averages.

While Ramona Elementary has relatively high per-student spending, this does not appear to translate into improved academic outcomes. Nearby schools, such as Lockwood Avenue Elementary and Lexington Avenue Primary Center, tend to outperform Ramona Elementary on academic measures and have lower rates of chronic absenteeism. Addressing the school's challenges through targeted interventions and learning from the successes of nearby schools could be crucial in improving the educational experience and outcomes for the students at Ramona Elementary.
