Summary:
ZIP code 93241 has two elementary schools in Lamont Elementary District: Alicante Avenue Elementary serves kindergarten through grade six, and Lamont Elementary serves kindergarten through grade three. In the 2025–26 all-grades results, they are close in English language arts (ELA), but both are well below state proficiency in ELA and math: ELA scores are 20% and 19%, compared with 49% statewide, and math scores are 16% and 23%, compared with 38% statewide. The most important finding is that the shared challenge is the large gap between both schools and state results in these core subjects, rather than which school is slightly ahead.
Neither school leads across every subject. Lamont Elementary stands out in all-grades math, scoring 23% versus 16% at Alicante Avenue Elementary, and in Spanish listening, at 35% versus 24%. Alicante edges Lamont in ELA (20% versus 19%) and Spanish overall (9% versus 8%). In the more comparable shared third grade, Lamont leads ELA and math, while Alicante leads Spanish overall and writing. Alicante’s only reported science result is 14%, below the state’s 36%; Lamont has no reported science score.
Recent changes differ by subject: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA fell by 4 percentage points at Alicante and 4 at Lamont, while math rose by 1 point and 2 points, respectively. Lamont’s Spanish listening result rose by 11 points, a notable exception to the broader pattern of low results. SchoolDigger’s rankings place the district in the 3rd percentile statewide; Alicante’s SchoolDigger ranking history also declined from the 16th percentile in 2023–24 to the 7th in 2025–26. For context, 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible rates were 82% at Alicante and 80% at Lamont, and student-teacher ratios were 21.7 and 20.9. These context measures describe the schools but do not explain their differing scores.
