Summary

Ramona Community Montessori is a 267-student school serving grades K–6 in Ramona, California. Its 2025–26 all-grade proficiency rates were 58% in ELA, 48% in math and 46% in science, above both California and Ramona City Unified in all three subjects. The most important takeaway is that the school’s results are strong across subjects, not just in one area.

Among nearby K–6 schools, Ramona Community Montessori ranked second of six in ELA and math and first of six in science; its scores were also above the peer averages of 36% in ELA, 30% in math and 29% in science. Its advantages over California were 8 percentage points in ELA, 10 in math and 10 in science, while its largest lead over the district was in math, at 20 points. Science is its strongest comparison with the state, but its current science result is lower than in an earlier year. At grade level, sixth-grade ELA was a standout: 64% proficient, the highest result among nearby schools serving sixth grade. Third-grade math is a relative weakness: 42% proficient, 5 points below the state. Attendance is another strength: chronic absenteeism was 7% in 2025–26, 15 points below the district and 12 below the state; nearby Garden Road Elementary and San Pasqual Union Elementary were slightly lower.

Over the four reported years, ELA rose 12 percentage points and math rose 11, while science fell 2 points and its lead over the state narrowed by 7 points. SchoolDigger gave the school 4 stars and a 72nd-percentile statewide ranking in 2025–26, up 13 percentile points from 2022–23; it ranked sixth among ten nearby schools with current rankings. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 23.9, higher than most nearby schools despite its relatively small enrollment. The school reported 51% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, within the range among nearby K–6 schools. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also show notable differences: it ranked the school at the 84th percentile for Hispanic students, up from the 52nd percentile in 2023–24, while its 55th-percentile ranking for White students was below its overall standing.
