Summary

Ramona Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 568 students in the Oxnard School District, which faces significant academic challenges with proficiency rates well below state and district averages.

The school's academic performance is notably lower than that of nearby schools, even those with similar student populations. For example, while only 22% of Ramona students are proficient in English and 11% in math, Norman R. Brekke Elementary, less than a mile away, has proficiency rates over two times higher. Furthermore, Ramona operates with fewer resources, spending about $16,600 per student compared to over $24,000 at most surrounding schools, and has a higher student-to-teacher ratio.

Despite these challenges, the school maintains a relative strength in student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate lower than the district and many neighboring schools like Sierra Linda Elementary. Performance data also shows that while students struggle overall, the school has historically shown more effectiveness with certain groups, such as English learners. However, test scores indicate students, particularly in math, fall further behind as they progress from 3rd to 5th grade.
