Summary:
Zip code 93532 in the rural Lake Hughes area is served by a single K-8 school, Hughes-Elizabeth Lakes, which enrolls 195 students within the Hughes-Elizabeth Lakes Union Elementary district.
This school maintains a consistent 3-star rating and shows a particular strength in science, where its students outperform the California state average, especially in the 8th grade. However, parents should note a significant challenge in mathematics, with proficiency rates dropping sharply between 3rd and 4th grade and remaining below state averages in most grades. English Language Arts performance is mixed, with 7th graders performing above average but younger grades struggling more.
The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, and chronic absenteeism is slightly higher than the state average, which are areas for potential improvement. With moderate economic need among students and per-student spending below the state average, the school's performance reflects the context of a small, rural community with a single educational option for elementary and middle school students.
