Summary:
This analysis examines the four public schools in the 95457 zip code (Lower Lake, CA), all operated by the Konocti Unified district, serving students from kindergarten through high school in a community with high economic need.
Among these schools, Lower Lake High stands out as the strongest performer, with a graduation rate nearly matching the state average, which is a notable achievement given the high poverty levels. Lower Lake Elementary serves the most students at the elementary level, while Carle (William C.) High (Continuation) and the very small Highlands Academy serve specialized populations with significant attendance and academic challenges.
Key insights for parents show that all schools in the area face considerable hurdles, with academic proficiency rates in English and math far below state averages and chronic absenteeism a major concern across the district. While Lower Lake High shows relative strength in graduation, the data indicates systemic challenges affecting student attendance and engagement that impact learning outcomes throughout the community.
