Better than 5% of California elementary schools

Summary

Lower Lake Elementary is a public K-7 school serving 743 students in the Konocti Unified school district, which serves a community with high economic need, as over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science far below state averages, placing it in the bottom 5% of California schools; this low performance is a trend across all elementary schools in the Konocti Unified district, including Burns Valley and Pomo. However, Lower Lake Elementary shows some relative strengths within its district, such as having the highest science scores and a lower chronic absenteeism rate than its peers, though absenteeism remains more than double the state average.

Notably, schools in neighboring districts with similar student demographics, like Coyote Valley Elementary in Middletown Unified and Lake County International Charter, perform significantly better, suggesting district-level factors may influence outcomes. The school spends considerably more per student than most nearby schools, a figure that warrants clarification, and it has shown a particular ability to support its Special Education students compared to other student groups.
