SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,804 California Elementary Schools

Better than 9% of California elementary schools

Summary

Lucerne Elementary serves 282 students in grades K–8 in Lucerne, California. In 2025–2026, its proficiency rates were below California’s in all three tested subjects: 20% in English language arts (ELA), 16% in math and 18% in science, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide. The largest gap was in ELA, where Lucerne was 29 percentage points below the state.

Compared with nearby schools, Lucerne is around the middle in ELA and math and stronger in science: its ELA rate was 1 point below the nearby average, its math rate was 1 point above, and its science rate was 1 point above the average among nearby schools with results, ranking third in that comparison. The school and the Lucerne Elementary district had identical all-grades results in all three subjects. Chronic absenteeism is another concern: Lucerne’s 39% rate matched the district and was 21 percentage points above California’s 18%, though it was slightly below the nearby average. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, and some results are unavailable, so peer comparisons are not equally complete.

Results have moved in different directions over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 10 percentage points and math fell 6, while science rose 10. SchoolDigger ranked Lucerne at the 9th percentile with 0 stars in 2025–2026; its ranking fell from the 26th percentile in 2023–2024. SchoolDigger’s rankings for how well the school serves female students fell from the 30th to the 9th percentile, and for students with low socioeconomic status from the 33rd to the 12th. Context includes a 20.1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, below the nearby average of 20.8, and 84% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, close to the nearby average of 85%.
