Summary

Island Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 395 students in Lemoore, CA, operating within the high-performing Island Union Elementary district, which ranks in the top 20% statewide.

The school consistently earns strong 4-star ratings, with students outperforming state averages in English and Math. A standout strength is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 6.4%, which is far better than the state average and most nearby schools, including Cinnamon Elementary and others in the Lemoore Union Elementary district. Island Elementary achieves these results while serving a diverse student population and spending significantly less per student than some higher-spending schools like R. J. Neutra in the Central Union Elementary district, demonstrating notable efficiency.

Areas for attention include a recent dip in science scores, particularly in 8th grade, and a performance gap where female students are outperforming male students. While math scores are strong in 6th grade, they tend to drop in 7th and 8th grades. Despite these specific challenges, the school's overall record of strong academic performance, excellent attendance, and cost-effective operation makes it a compelling choice in the region.
