Myrtle Avenue Elementary

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Myrtle Avenue Elementary is a public school serving 422 students in grades 4 through 6 in Lamont, California, operating within the Lamont Elementary district, which ranks among the lowest in the state.

The school's standout success is its dramatic improvement in student attendance, reducing chronic absenteeism from over 32% to just 7.9%, a rate significantly better than the state average and most nearby schools like Mountain View Middle in the same district. Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency in math (16.75%) and especially science (6.87%) far below state averages, though it performs slightly better than its district's average in core subjects. It's important to note the school serves grades 4-6, unlike traditional middle schools, and benefits from higher per-student funding ($19,260) than many comparable schools.

While the school struggles academically, its success in getting students to attend regularly is a major positive. Comparisons show that other schools in the region with similar student populations, such as Stonecreek Junior High and Leon H. Ollivier Middle, achieve much higher English Language Arts proficiency, suggesting room for growth. The significant jump in 6th-grade math scores at Myrtle Avenue is a promising trend that, combined with its strong attendance record and resources, could point toward future academic improvement.
