Summary

Lo-Inyo Elementary is a public K-8 school serving about 197 students in the rural community of Lone Pine, California, within the Lone Pine Unified School District.

When compared to the nearest similar school, Owens Valley Elementary, Lo-Inyo shows stronger academic results in English, math, and science, and it does so with significantly less funding per student. The school has shown recent improvement in its statewide ranking and made a notable recovery in science scores. However, performance varies by grade level, with middle school grades often outperforming some of the younger grades, and the school continues to work on reducing chronic absenteeism, which is slightly above the state average.

Lo-Inyo demonstrates particular effectiveness with some student groups and operates efficiently within its budget. The school's performance trends upward, indicating positive momentum. For parents, this suggests a community school that is achieving solid results for its students, especially when viewed in its local context, with clear areas of strength and ongoing opportunities for growth across different grades and subjects.
