Summary:
Zip code 91945 contains one public middle school, Lemon Grove Academy for the Sciences and Humanities, serving grades 6-8 within the Lemon Grove School District.
This school has a specialized focus on sciences and humanities, but its academic performance is below average. For the 2024-2025 school year, only about 38% of students were proficient in English and just 22% were proficient in both math and science, which is lower than both the district and state averages. The school's state ranking places it in the bottom third of California middle schools, a position it has held consistently for several years.
A major area of concern is student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of nearly 32% that is significantly higher than average. The school does have substantial financial resources, spending over $20,700 per student, but this has not yet translated into stronger academic results. For parents, the key considerations are the school's specialized curricular theme and the significant challenge it faces with student attendance, which is a critical factor for academic success.
