Best Public Schools in Zip Code 93954

Summary:

Zip code 93954 in the rural San Lucas, CA area contains one school, San Lucas Elementary, a K-8 school serving 72 students within the San Lucas Union Elementary district.

San Lucas Elementary serves a community with significant economic need, with 97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science, is below state averages, with a notable concern being 0% proficiency in 5th-grade math. However, its chronic absenteeism rate is better than the state average, suggesting good success in getting students to attend school regularly.

A key finding is the school's very high per-student spending of over $28,000, which is well above the California average. This substantial investment, combined with the challenges of rural isolation and economic disadvantage, presents a complex picture. For parents, this means the school is a critical community hub with significant resources dedicated to each child, but it continues to work on translating that support into higher academic achievement across all subjects.
