Summary

Vernon City Elementary serves 134 students in grades K–6 in Los Angeles, within a cluster of nearby city schools. In 2025–26, it ranked 1,312 of 5,804 California schools on SchoolDigger, at the 77th percentile with 4 stars. The most important finding is that Vernon combines strong overall test results with the lowest reported chronic absenteeism among nearby schools: 9% of students were chronically absent, compared with 18% statewide and 23% in the district.

Vernon was above the state and Los Angeles Unified in all three all-grades subjects, with its biggest advantage in math: 62% proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 40% districtwide. Its science advantage was smaller—39%, versus 36% statewide and 32% districtwide. Third grade was a standout: Vernon had 86% proficiency in both ELA and math, compared with nearby highs of 49% at Lillian Street Elementary in ELA and 60% at Nevin Avenue Elementary in math. Fifth-grade math is the clearest concern: Vernon’s 33% was below the state’s 37%, the district’s 40%, and nearby results of 41% at Ascot Avenue Elementary and 34% at Pacific Boulevard. Because enrollment is small, grade-level percentages can be sensitive to the number of students tested.

ELA and math improved steadily from 2022–23 to 2025–26, rising 14 and 15 percentage points, respectively; science increased 14 points overall but fluctuated along the way. Vernon’s SchoolDigger percentile rose from 57 in 2021–22 to 77 in 2025–26, while chronic absenteeism fell from 44% to 9%. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 19.1, close to the nearby average. Vernon reported 96% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, near the 96% average among nearby schools reporting that same measure. SchoolDigger also ranked Vernon at the 93rd percentile with 5 stars for how well it serves Hispanic Students, 16 percentile points above its overall 77th-percentile ranking.
