Summary:
In zip code 93245, which serves the Lemoore, CA area, there are two public middle schools—Liberty Middle and Lemoore University Elementary Charter—serving grades 6-8 within the Lemoore Union Elementary district, a district that performs above the state average.
Comparing the two, Lemoore University Elementary Charter generally achieves higher academic rankings, with stronger performance in English Language Arts and Science, and also reports lower rates of chronic student absenteeism. Liberty Middle, the larger school, spends significantly more per student and maintains a lower student-to-teacher ratio, which correlates with its lead in mathematics proficiency. Both schools exceed their district's average in English proficiency.
An interesting finding is the difference in resource allocation, as the charter school delivers competitive academic results with substantially lower per-student funding. Parents should note that science is a relative strength for the charter but an area for growth at Liberty. Overall, families in this area have access to two solid middle school options that each have distinct operational profiles and academic strengths.
