Summary:
The Lemon Grove school district in California is home to 7 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The data reveals a mix of performance among these schools, with some standouts like Mt.

Mt. Vernon Elementary stands out as the highest-ranked Lemon Grove elementary school, performing well on standardized tests with over 40% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 34% in Mathematics. The school also had the highest percentage of 5th-grade students proficient in Science at 38.1%. In contrast, Lemon Grove Academy Elementary ranked second among the Lemon Grove schools, with strong performance in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics.
However, the Lemon Grove schools as a whole face challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 29.9% to 61.4%. This is an area of concern, as chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic performance. Additionally, the schools generally performed below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency, suggesting opportunities for improvement. The district's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.57% to 66.74%, also indicates a significant population of students from low-income families, which can present additional challenges and resource needs for the schools.
