Summary:
The Lennox School District consists of six public schools serving grades K-8, with five elementary schools and one middle school, educating nearly 4,000 students in a high-need community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the elementary schools, Jefferson Elementary and Buford Elementary stand out for their stronger academic rankings and math performance, while Moffett Elementary has the district's best science scores and lowest chronic absenteeism. In contrast, Felton Elementary faces significant challenges with the highest absenteeism and lowest ranking among elementaries, and Dolores Huerta Elementary has seen notable fluctuations in its state ranking in recent years.
The district's single Lennox Middle school is the largest and shows the most pronounced academic challenges, with the lowest test scores and highest absenteeism in the district, particularly in math. A notable strength across Lennox is its Spanish language program, where student proficiency, especially in writing, far exceeds state averages, with Buford Elementary excelling in this area.
