Lennox

The Lennox school district in California serves a predominantly Hispanic student population across 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school. While the district faces challenges with high poverty levels and chronic absenteeism, some schools stand out for their strong academic performance, such as Buford Elementary, which has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics among the elementary schools.

Among the elementary schools, Dolores Huerta Elementary also impresses with the highest proficiency rates in 5th grade Science and the second-highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts across grades 3-5. Additionally, it has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the district. In contrast, Felton Elementary stands out with the lowest student-teacher ratio of 18, but also the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 38.5%.

Overall, the Lennox school district faces significant achievement gaps between its highest and lowest performing schools, particularly in Mathematics. Addressing these gaps, as well as the high poverty levels and chronic absenteeism concerns, could lead to substantial improvements in student outcomes across the district.
