Summary

Linda Verde Dual Language Immersion is a 680-student K–8 school in Lancaster, in the Lancaster Elementary district. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency rates were 23% in English language arts (ELA), 16% in math and 22% in science, compared with California rates of 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. The most important takeaway is that, despite some local strengths, Linda Verde’s proficiency remained below the state average in every tested subject.

Against nearby schools, Linda Verde performed more competitively: among eight district schools with reported all-grades results, it ranked third in ELA, fourth in math and first in science. Its rates were above those schools’ averages—20% in ELA, 13% in math and 14% in science—with science the clearest relative strength. ELA was its weakest comparison locally: the school’s 23% was below the district’s 25%; math was about level with the district (16% versus 15%), while science was higher (22% versus 17%). Results also vary by grade: third-grade ELA and math were higher than at every nearby district school with reported results. Attendance is another bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell to 12% in 2025–2026, below the state’s 18% and district’s 32%, and lower than the rates at nearby schools with reported data.

ELA and science have improved over four reported years, but math’s progress has not narrowed its state gap. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 7 percentage points and its gap with the state narrowed by 5 points; science also rose 7 points, narrowing its gap by 1 point. Math increased 3 points overall, but its state gap widened by 1 point. SchoolDigger ranked Linda Verde at the 6th percentile statewide, with 0 stars; the district was at the 7th percentile, also with 0 stars. SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students ranking was once much stronger than its overall ranking—76th percentile versus 3rd in 2022–2023—but fell to the 9th percentile by 2024–2025. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 21.9, compared with a 24.8 average at nearby district schools with reported ratios, and 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. All-grades comparisons include schools serving different grade spans.
