Summary:
Zip code 93510 in Acton, California, is served by five schools spanning grades K-12, including traditional elementary, middle, and high schools alongside innovative hybrid and online charter options.
Families in this area have a notable choice between schools operated by the Acton-Agua Dulce Unified district and those run by iLEAD charter networks. The standout academic performer is iLEAD Hybrid, which exceeds state averages in English, math, and science, boasts a high graduation rate, and has remarkably low chronic student absenteeism. In contrast, Vasquez High, the traditional district high school, has seen a sharp decline in its state ranking and reports very low proficiency in math and high rates of chronic absenteeism, despite having the highest per-student spending.
The other traditional schools, Meadowlark Elementary and High Desert Middle School, also show academic performance below state averages. The fully online iLEAD Online Charter performs solidly, with very low absenteeism. A key takeaway is the strong inverse relationship between chronic absenteeism and academic success across all schools, with the iLEAD models demonstrating particularly effective student engagement.
