Summary:
Zip code 95458 has one school, Lucerne Elementary, a K–8 school serving 282 students. With no other listed schools, there is no local school-to-school comparison. The most important finding is that the school trails California in all three tested subjects: in 2025–2026, proficiency was 20% in ELA, 16% in math and 18% in science, compared with 49%, 38% and 36% statewide; the gaps were 29, 22 and 18 percentage points, respectively.
Lucerne Elementary cannot be a local leader or trailer, but science is its closest subject to the state and ELA its farthest behind. Results vary by grade, especially in ELA: third grade had the smallest state gap, at 16 points (29% versus 44%), while seventh grade had the largest, at 39 points (12% versus 51%). In math, the state gap ranged from 18 points in eighth grade (18% versus 36%) to 27 points in fourth grade (15% versus 42%). Science was below the state in both reported grades, by 18 points in fifth grade and 17 points in eighth.
Across the two years of results, Lucerne Elementary did not keep pace with state changes: ELA fell 5 points while the state rose by less than 1; math increased by less than 1 point, versus a 1-point state gain; and science rose 3 points, slightly less than the state increase. SchoolDigger’s ranking also declined, from the 26th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 11th in 2024–2025 and the 9th in 2025–2026; the latest rating is 0 stars. Chronic absenteeism was 39% at the school versus 18% statewide in 2025–2026. As additional context, 84% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, and the student–teacher ratio was 20.1 in 2024–2025.
