Summary:
The 14 schools in zip code 93536 serve students from elementary through high school, spanning three different school districts: Antelope Valley Union High, Lancaster Elementary, and Westside Union Elementary. While the area has a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, a few standouts emerge, including SOAR High (Students On Academic Rise), which boasts exceptional academic results and a 100% graduation rate.
Among the top-performing schools in the area, Quartz Hill High and Academies of the Antelope Valley also demonstrate relatively strong academic achievement, with higher-than-average proficiency rates and graduation rates. In contrast, several schools, particularly in the Lancaster Elementary and Westside Union Elementary districts, struggle with low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism.
The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools serving higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tending to have lower test scores and graduation rates. Addressing these disparities and identifying ways to support the lower-performing schools could lead to more equitable educational opportunities for all students in the 93536 zip code.
