Summary

Ramona Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 528 students in the Moreno Valley Unified School District, which ranks in the bottom 18th percentile statewide, and it faces significant academic and attendance challenges.

The school's academic performance is among the lowest in California, ranking in the 8th percentile with only 23% of students proficient in English and 15% in math, which is substantially below both district and state averages. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, affecting 31.7% of students, a rate higher than most nearby schools like Bear Valley Elementary (25.7%) and Butterfield Language Academy (20.6%). Furthermore, the school's statewide ranking has declined sharply from the 33rd percentile in 2019 to its current position.

Despite spending over $20,500 per student, Ramona's outcomes lag behind nearby schools with similar student demographics, such as Bear Valley Elementary, which achieves more than double the proficiency rates. Mathematics is a particular weakness, with only 5% of 6th graders proficient. The school does show a relative strength in serving Special Education students, ranking in the 41st percentile for that subgroup, suggesting there may be effective supports in place that could be expanded.
