Summary:
Schools in ZIP code 93245 include 16 schools—10 elementary, two middle and four high schools—serving different grade spans across several districts. Fifth-grade results in 2025–26 show that elementary performance varies widely, but science is the clearest shared concern: the average school score was 27%, compared with 35% statewide.
R. J. Neutra led fifth-grade ELA and math, with 67% and 58% proficient, while Island Elementary led science at 46%, just under a point ahead of Neutra. Akers Elementary also exceeded state results in all three subjects. At the other end, Central Elementary scored 15% in ELA, 15% in math and 10% in science—the lowest results in each subject—while Stratford Elementary was second-lowest. High-school results also vary sharply: in 2024–25, Lemoore Middle College High exceeded state 11th-grade results by 29 points in ELA, 19 in math and 36 in science; in 2025–26, Lemoore High outscored Jamison High by 39 points in 11th-grade ELA and 24 points in math.
Recent changes are mixed: among 14 schools with results in both years, the average school’s scores fell 1 point in ELA, rose 1 point in math and rose 2 points in science from 2024–25 to 2025–26; statewide, ELA rose by less than 1 point, math by 1 and science by 3. SchoolDigger rankings also shifted over time: Meadow Lane Elementary rose from the 41st to the 59th percentile, while Cinnamon Elementary fell from the 55th to the 44th. The reported 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible share ranged from 22% at Akers and 25% at Neutra to 82% at Meadow Lane; despite that higher share, Meadow Lane exceeded state fifth-grade ELA and math results. These figures provide context, not an explanation for school performance; high-school comparisons cited above come from different school years.
