Summary:
The Lowell Joint School District in California consists of 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school, serving students from preschool through 8th grade. The district's schools display a mix of strong academic performance and areas for improvement, with some standout schools like Rancho-Starbuck Intermediate and Meadow Green Elementary leading the way.
Rancho-Starbuck Intermediate is the district's top-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 30% of California middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts strong test scores, with 63.34% of 8th graders proficient or better in ELA and 45.07% in Math, outpacing the district and state averages. Meadow Green Elementary also stands out, with 68.57% of 3rd graders and 75.76% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in ELA, well above the district and state benchmarks.
However, the Lowell Joint School District faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 11.3% at Rancho-Starbuck Intermediate to 27.1% at Macy Elementary. Additionally, the district's schools have a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 44.98% at Macy Elementary to 60.83% at Jordan Elementary. Addressing these areas of concern could help the district's schools continue to improve and provide a well-rounded education for all students.
