History

Ramon Magsaysay Elementary School was formerly known as La Loma Elementary School. It was built in 1940 with a 4 room building.   It had three annexes at Ipo, Halcon and Calavite Streets where primary grades held classes while the intermediate grades held classes at the main campus along Apo Street.   When the WW II broke out the school was forced to stop its operation because the building was used as barracks of the US forces in 1944, during the American occupation of Manila.   The school opened in 1945 with a teaching force of 8 teachers. 

When the Aranetas and Tuazon’s decided to sell lands in La Loma, a 2 hectare land was donated to La Loma, Elementary. Upon the assumption of Mayor Norberto Amoranto as Quezon City Mayor, a 1- storey, 14 classroom building was put up in 1955. In 1957 the school was renamed Ramon Magsaysay Elementary School in honor of the late Ramon Magsaysay, our 7th President of the country.
