Summary:

ZIP code 96055 has two K–8 schools, Lassen View Elementary and Los Molinos Elementary, serving 621 students altogether. Their 2025–2026 results show a sharp divide: Lassen View Elementary was above the state in all three all-grades subjects, while Los Molinos Elementary was below it in all three. The most important finding is that schools in this ZIP code have substantially different reported achievement results.

Lassen View Elementary stands out at the top: its proficiency was 64% in ELA, 52% in math and 50% in science, compared with 29%, 22% and 29%, respectively, at Los Molinos Elementary. The school-to-school gaps were 35 percentage points in ELA, 31 in math and 21 in science. Lassen View Elementary was above the state in every grade-level result shown. Los Molinos Elementary had two exceptions to its generally below-state grade-level results: fifth-grade ELA was 50% versus 49% statewide, and eighth-grade math was 42% versus 36%. SchoolDigger ranks Lassen View Elementary at the 78th percentile with four stars, compared with the 18th percentile and one star for Los Molinos Elementary.

Recent changes are mixed by subject, with science showing the clearest group improvement: the two-school average rose 18 percentage points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while ELA rose about 3 points and math was nearly unchanged. Science at Los Molinos Elementary rose from 2% to 29%, a 27-point increase. Other context also distinguishes the schools: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 81% at Los Molinos Elementary and 49% at Lassen View Elementary; student–teacher ratios were 22.1 and 24.6, respectively. For 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 19% at Los Molinos Elementary and 7% at Lassen View Elementary, compared with 18% statewide. These measures offer additional context, not an explanation for achievement differences.
