Summary:

This analysis covers 15 schools in the Lemoore, CA area (zip code 93245), serving students from elementary through high school across six different districts, revealing a landscape with both standout performers and significant challenges.

Parents will find notable differences in school performance. Top schools include Lemoore Middle College High, which excels with a near-perfect graduation rate, and elementary schools like Akers Elementary and R. J. Neutra within the Central Union Elementary District. On the other end, Central Elementary (also in Central Union) and Jamison (Donald C.) High (Continuation) struggle with low test scores and, in Jamison's case, very high chronic absenteeism.

Key insights show that higher spending doesn't always mean better results, as seen with Central Elementary, and that chronic absenteeism is strongly linked to lower performance. Math proficiency is a widespread concern, especially in high schools, with scores lagging far behind English. The Lemoore Union Elementary District schools show average performance, while Island Elementary in the Island Union Elementary District is a mid-tier performer. The area offers diverse models, from the highly successful Middle College to the struggling online Lemoore Online College Preparatory High.
