Summary
P. W. Engvall Elementary serves 534 students in grades K–6 in Lemoore, California, and is part of the Lemoore Union Elementary district. Its results are mixed: it is ahead of the state in English language arts (ELA) and slightly ahead in math, but behind in science. The most important takeaway is that its academic picture depends on the subject and grade, with a clear state-level science shortfall and especially weak third-grade math.
Compared with nearby district K–6 schools, Engvall is strongest in ELA and science: in 2025–26, 54% of students met the ELA standard, the highest result among the five schools, and 30% met the science standard, versus an average of 18% at the four other schools. Engvall’s results were 4 points above the district and state in ELA, and 4 points above the district in science—but 6 points below the state in science. Math was a narrower strength: 40% met the standard, just 1 point above the district, state and nearby-school average. Grade-level results vary considerably: fourth-grade ELA was 62%, 16 points above the state, while third-grade math was 35%, 12 points below it.
Over time, ELA has been nearly unchanged, moving from 54% in 2022–23 to 54% in 2025–26; math fell from 42% to 40%, while science rose from 23% to 30% but remains below the state. SchoolDigger ranks Engvall 2,247th of 5,804 California schools, at the 61st percentile with 3 stars; its percentile is down 5 points from 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show a notable difference in how the school serves student groups: White students rank at the 43rd percentile, below Engvall overall, while English Language Learner students rose from the 31st percentile in 2021–22 to the 77th in 2023–24. The 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible share was 74%, near the 79% average at the other district K–6 schools; the student-teacher ratio was 19.9. Chronic absenteeism was 14% in 2025–26, below the district’s 17% and the state’s 18%, though up from 10% the previous year.
