Summary:
Zip code 95423 in Clearlake Oaks, California, is served by one public elementary school, East Lake, which educates about 195 students in grades K-7 within the Konocti Unified School District.
East Lake Elementary shows significant recent improvement, having moved from the bottom 3% to the bottom 22% of all California schools in the last two years and earning its first performance star. While its test scores in English and math remain below the state average, the school notably outperforms the wider Konocti Unified district average in these core subjects. However, performance varies greatly by grade, with some grades performing reasonably well while others, particularly in fifth grade and in science overall, face substantial academic challenges.
The school community faces significant obstacles, including a high rate of chronic student absenteeism at 41.9%, which is more than double the state average and hinders learning. Additionally, nearly 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need. Despite these challenges and operating with a relatively high student-to-teacher ratio, the school's rapid academic gains suggest effective strategies are being implemented locally to support student growth.
