Summary:
This analysis examines four high schools serving grades 9-12 in zip code 93245, located in Lemoore, California, which include a traditional comprehensive school, a specialized college-prep program, an online school, and a continuation school for at-risk students.
Lemoore Middle College High stands out as the top performer, achieving a 100% graduation rate, very high test scores, and a 95th percentile statewide ranking, all while operating with below-average per-student spending. In contrast, the traditional Lemoore High shows average performance relative to the state, while Lemoore Online College Preparatory High and Jamison (Donald C.) High (Continuation) face significant academic challenges, with particularly low proficiency in mathematics across these three schools.
The schools show dramatic differences in student engagement and resources; chronic absenteeism ranges from just 7.5% at Lemoore Middle College High to 56% at Jamison High, which also receives the highest per-student funding. This data reveals a diverse educational landscape within the Lemoore Union High district, where specialized program design appears highly impactful, and where online and continuation school models may require targeted support to improve outcomes.
