Summary:

Miramonte Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 628 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Miramonte Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of California elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2023-2024, only 14.97% of Miramonte students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 43.06% for Los Angeles Unified and 47.04% for California. In Mathematics, only 11.46% of Miramonte students were proficient or better, compared to 32.83% for Los Angeles Unified and 35.54% for California. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.1% in 2017-2018 to 31.7% in 2022-2023, and a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 97.45% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the nearby schools, such as Parmelee Avenue Elementary, Lillian Street Elementary, and McKinley Avenue Elementary, also have relatively low academic performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism and low-income students, they generally outperform Miramonte Elementary on standardized tests and have slightly lower student-teacher ratios. Addressing the significant challenges faced by Miramonte Elementary will require a comprehensive, long-term approach to improve the educational outcomes for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
