Summary

Raymond Avenue Elementary is a Los Angeles Unified public school in Los Angeles, serving 457 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Its 2025–26 results put it among the stronger nearby schools in English language arts (ELA), math and science, though it remains below state proficiency in all three. The central takeaway: Raymond compares favorably with nearby schools, but still has meaningful gaps to close—especially in ELA and science.

In 2025–26, Raymond scored 34% in ELA, 38% in math and 21% in science—about 4, 7 and 1 percentage points above nearby-school averages, respectively. It ranked second of nine nearby schools in ELA and third of nine in math; in science, it ranked third of eight. Compared with the state, Raymond was 16 points lower in ELA, 1 point lower in math and 15 points lower in science. Its gaps against Los Angeles Unified were 15 points in ELA, 2 in math and 11 in science. Fourth grade is a brighter spot: math proficiency was 41.9%, just 0.6 points below the state’s 42.4%, while third- and fifth-grade ELA were each about 17 points below their state results.

Math has improved most consistently: all-grades proficiency rose from 26% in 2022–23 to 38% in 2025–26, a 12-point gain, bringing its state gap to just 1 point. Chronic absenteeism also declined, from 42% in 2021–22 to 29% in 2025–26, but remains above the district’s 23% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger gives Raymond a 38th-percentile statewide standing and 2 stars; its percentile rose from 1 in 2014–15 but slipped from 39 last year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a notably higher standing for African American students, at the 74th percentile, than Raymond’s 38th-percentile overall ranking; its Special Education Students ranking has climbed from the 6th percentile in 2022–23 to the 28th. For context, Raymond’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 21.2, close to the nearby average of 21.0. Its 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 96.7%, or about 97%; California is designated a statewide free-meals state.
