Summary

Lemonwood Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 808 students in the Oxnard School District, operating in a high-need community where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom quartile of all California schools, with proficiency in English and math below the Oxnard district average. However, it shows important strengths, particularly in science, where its students outperform the district average and most nearby schools like Kamala Elementary and Driffill Elementary. Furthermore, Lemonwood has consistently maintained a chronic absenteeism rate better than both the district and state averages for five years, a notable achievement that suggests effective family engagement.

When compared to neighboring schools, Lemonwood's performance is mixed but shows some efficiency. It spends less per student than Rose Avenue Elementary but achieves similar academic results, and it spends more than Elm Street Elementary while performing better academically. Its middle school grades (7th and 8th) show stronger English scores than the district average for those grades, and it has historically performed well with English Language Learner students, though support for other vulnerable groups has been inconsistent.
