Summary:
The Lemoore Union High School District in California's Central Valley serves grades 9-12 through two distinct high schools: a large comprehensive school and a small continuation school.
Lemoore High is the district's standout performer, ranking in the top third of California high schools with a strong 94.2% graduation rate and low chronic absenteeism. It excels in English Language Arts and science, outperforming state averages, though math proficiency is an area for improvement. With nearly 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school achieves these results efficiently, spending less per student than the district's other school.
The district also operates Jamison (Donald C.) High (Continuation), a much smaller school serving at-risk students. It requires significantly more resources per student and has a very low student-teacher ratio to support its mission, successfully graduating over 81% of its students despite high chronic absenteeism. Comparing the two, Lemoore High delivers strong overall academic results for the majority of students, while Lemoore Union High demonstrates a commitment to serving all learners by investing heavily in the specialized continuation program at Jamison High.
