Summary
Felton Elementary is a K–5 school in Lennox, California, serving 364 students in the Lennox district. Its results are uneven: math and science are near or above state levels, but English Language Arts (ELA) and attendance stand out as concerns. In 2025–2026, 24.9% of students were chronically absent, compared with 17.3% in the district and 18.3% statewide. The clearest academic concern is ELA: 37% of students were proficient, 12 percentage points below the state and 4 points below the district.
Science is Felton’s strongest subject relative to nearby elementary schools: 36.4% were proficient, about 7 points above the nearby-school average and 10 points above the district. Its science result was effectively level with the state (36.4% versus 36.0%). Math was also slightly above the state and 7 points above the district, though about 1 point below the nearby-school average. Grade-level results reveal a sharper contrast: fourth-grade ELA and math were the lowest among Felton and seven nearby K–5 schools, at 29% and 27%, respectively. Fifth-grade math, by contrast, reached 48%—above the district and state, and higher than the same-grade results at all seven nearby schools.
Results improved notably in 2025–2026: math rose 7 percentage points and science 14 points from 2022–2023, while ELA rose 2 points and remains well below the state. Chronic absenteeism also fell from 51% in 2021–2022, but is still higher than the district, state, and nearby K–5 schools with current data. SchoolDigger’s state percentile increased from 32 in 2024–2025 to 47 in 2025–2026, while its rating stayed at 2 stars; the district is at the 57th percentile and 3 stars. Felton’s 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 20.2, lower than most nearby schools, and 90% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Hispanic students was notably higher than the overall ranking in 2025–2026: 65th percentile and 3 stars, compared with 47th percentile and 2 stars overall.
