Summary:
Zip code 93249 contains one elementary school, Lost Hills Elementary, serving grades K-5 in a high-need area within the Lost Hills Union Elementary district.
Lost Hills Elementary serves a student population where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic need. Despite this challenge, the school's academic performance in English and math is close to the state average, and it excels in maintaining student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate well below the California average. The school's per-student spending is notably high, which likely supports these relatively strong outcomes given the community's socioeconomic context.
Areas for potential improvement include science proficiency, which trails the state average, and performance that varies by grade level, with fifth grade facing the greatest academic challenges. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years but generally places it in the middle to lower-middle tier of California elementary schools. For parents in the area, this school represents a resource-intensive environment that is working to support its high-need community, with particular strengths in keeping students engaged and present.
