Normont Elementary

Summary:

Normont Elementary is a public elementary school located in Harbor City, California, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 279 students. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Normont Elementary faces significant challenges, particularly in the areas of chronic absenteeism and academic performance. The school has had high chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, ranging from 9.5% in 2020-2021 to 44.3% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Lomita Math/Science/Technology Magnet and Two Hundred Thirty-Second Place Elementary, which have rates ranging from 19.6% to 32.3%. Additionally, Normont Elementary's test scores are consistently lower than the Los Angeles Unified School District and California state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

The high rates of poverty at Normont Elementary, with 97.49% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. These socioeconomic challenges can create barriers to student learning and engagement. However, the school's low ranking and performance also provide an opportunity for the district and school leadership to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the specific needs of the students and community, and help improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap with the surrounding schools.

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.
