Summary

El Tejon Elementary is a public middle school serving 221 students in grades 5 through 8 in the rural Lebec area, operating as part of the El Tejon Unified School District.

The school is on a positive upward trend, having improved its statewide ranking from the bottom quartile to the 43rd percentile over the past few years. A standout success has been its exceptional management of student attendance, dramatically reducing chronic absenteeism to a rate far better than both the district and state averages. This improvement in attendance coincides with overall academic gains, suggesting it's a key factor in the school's progress. The school also invests significantly more resources per student than many others, which may be supporting these improvements.

Academically, the picture is mixed and shows where focused work is needed. While eighth graders perform well in English Language Arts, mathematics remains a significant challenge across most grades, with proficiency rates lagging behind the state average. Science scores, though improving, also trail the state. Performance can vary noticeably between different grade levels and student groups. The data indicates El Tejon Elementary is a school building a stronger foundation, with clear recent successes in attendance and ranking, but one that continues to work on closing achievement gaps in core subjects like math.
