Summary

Akers Elementary is a highly-regarded K-8 school serving 592 students in Lemoore, California, as part of the Central Union Elementary district, and it stands out for its strong academic performance and exceptional student attendance.

The school consistently ranks among the top in the state, currently in the 82nd percentile, with test scores in English, math, and science that are well above both district and state averages. A particularly impressive strength is its success with all student groups, including those from low-income backgrounds and students in special education, who perform significantly better here than at most other schools. Furthermore, Akers has achieved a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 3%, a dramatic improvement and far better than nearby schools like Meadow Lane Elementary (16.3%) or Cinnamon Elementary (14.2%).

Within its own district, Akers forms an "excellence cluster" with the similarly high-performing R. J. Neutra school, both far outpacing other district schools like Stratford Elementary and Central Elementary. This shows that Akers is not just a good school for the area, but a standout institution that has demonstrated a clear, sustained trajectory of improvement and effective support for its students.
