Miramonte Elementary

Miramonte Elementary sits in El Monte, a dense, working-class city in the eastern San Gabriel Valley where families tend to put down deep roots and community ties run strong. The school serves a neighborhood where most households are immigrant or first-generation, and for families who want a local public school with a tight-knit feel, it fills that role — though the academic scores sit well below state averages across English, math, and science. Families who are weighing their options here would likely want to explore additional enrichment outside of school, whether through tutoring, library programs, or extracurriculars, to supplement what the classroom provides.
