Summary:

The 95242 zip code in Lodi, California, is served by 11 schools spanning grades K-12, primarily within the Lodi Unified district, which ranks below the state average overall.

Among these schools, Vinewood Elementary stands out as the top performer, with test scores well above district and state averages and the lowest chronic absenteeism among traditional elementary schools. In contrast, the district's middle schools, Lodi Middle and Millswood Middle, show a notable dip in math and English proficiency compared to elementary levels. Lodi High maintains a strong graduation rate despite academic scores below state averages.

The area's alternative schools present a mixed picture: Valley Robotics Academy excels with a 100% graduation rate, while Vista Oaks Charter performs well academically, and Independence struggles with high absenteeism. There is no clear link between a school's per-student spending and its academic outcomes, suggesting factors like school culture and instructional practices are key differentiators.
