Summary

Loma Vista Elementary serves 379 students in grades K–6 in Whittier, within the South Whittier Elementary area. The clearest takeaway is that results have improved and are consistently stronger than the district’s, with math now slightly above the state while science remains the largest area of need.

Compared with nearby schools, Loma Vista is stronger within its district than across the broader neighborhood: it ranks second among five same-district schools in ELA, math, and science, and its scores exceed the district’s by about 10 points in ELA, 12 in math, and 10 in science. Against all 10 nearby schools, it is above average in ELA (48% versus 46%) and science (32% versus 28%), and close to average in math (39% versus 39%); its subject rankings are fourth in ELA, seventh in math, and sixth in science. Compared with the state, it is about 1 point below in ELA, 1 point above in math, and 4 points below in science. Grade-level results show a more specific math challenge: third grade is a standout at 56%, but fourth through sixth grade are below state results; upper-grade ELA is a relative strength, reaching 57% in sixth grade versus 48% statewide.

Scores have risen substantially: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, proficiency increased by 13 points in ELA, 12 in math, and 26 in science, though science has fluctuated from year to year. SchoolDigger rates the school 3 stars and places it at the 57th statewide percentile, up from the 13th percentile in 2018–2019. In 2024–2025, 92% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the student-teacher ratio was 23.6. Chronic absenteeism was 9% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 17% and the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also show a notable result for English Language Learner Students: their 2023–2024 percentile was 75, compared with 43 for the school overall that year. Male Students’ ranking rose from the 46th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 68th in 2025–2026.
