Summary:
The 93420 zip code area of Arroyo Grande, California is home to 8 schools that are part of the Lucia Mar Unified School District. This diverse set of schools includes 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. While the district as a whole is ranked 596 out of 1,560 in California and has a 3-out-of-5-star rating, the schools in this area show a wide range of performance levels.
Among the standout schools are Ocean View Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, and Paulding Middle, one of the higher-performing middle schools in the area. In contrast, the alternative Lopez Continuation High has significantly lower performance metrics, including a 76% 4-year graduation rate and an 80% chronic absenteeism rate. This disparity in performance suggests that students in the 93420 zip code may have vastly different educational experiences depending on the school they attend.
The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced-price lunch rates, and academic performance. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Mesa Middle and Lopez Continuation High, tend to have lower test scores and other performance metrics. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable access to high-quality education for all students in the 93420 zip code will be a key challenge for the Lucia Mar Unified School District.
