Summary:

ZIP code 96055 has three schools: two K–8 schools, Lassen View Elementary and Los Molinos Elementary, plus Los Molinos High. The clearest contrast is between the two K–8 schools, and same-grade results show it is not just a difference in grade spans: in sixth-grade math, Lassen View scored 61% versus 3% at Los Molinos Elementary, a 57-point gap. The most important finding is that Lassen View’s results are substantially higher than Los Molinos Elementary’s across all three all-grades subjects.

Lassen View Elementary leads the group in 2025–26, with 64% in ELA, 52% in math, and 50% in science—14, 14, and 14 percentage points above state results, respectively. Los Molinos High is also above the state in all three subjects, with 62% in ELA, 40% in math, and 38% in science; its grade 11 results exceed state grade 11 results in every subject. At the bottom of the all-grades results, Los Molinos Elementary scored 29% in ELA, 22% in math, and 29% in science, respectively 20, 17, and 7 points below the state. SchoolDigger ranks Lassen View at the 78th percentile and Los Molinos High at the 72nd percentile, both with four stars, versus the 18th percentile and one star for Los Molinos Elementary.

Recent changes are mixed: Lassen View improved in all three subjects, while Los Molinos High made its biggest gain in math, rising 9 points. Los Molinos Elementary’s ELA and math dipped slightly, but its science result jumped 27 points; the group’s average science score rose 13 points, so that one-year rebound is a notable exception to the more modest changes elsewhere. School context also differs: in 2024–25, student–teacher ratios were 24.6 at Lassen View, 22.1 at Los Molinos Elementary, and 16.4 at Los Molinos High. All three reported free/reduced lunch eligible as their low-income measure for 2024–25: 49%, 81%, and 58%, respectively. Chronic absenteeism was 22% at Los Molinos High, above the 18% state rate, while Lassen View was at 7%; these context measures describe the schools but do not explain test results.
