Summary:
The 93534 zip code area of Lancaster, California is home to 11 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population, with most having very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage.
While a few schools, such as Lancaster Alternative and Virtual Academies and Life Source International Charter, stand out with relatively strong academic performance and higher proficiency rates on state assessments, many other schools in the area struggle, with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates. Schools like Monte Vista Elementary, Mariposa Elementary, and Desert View Elementary have particularly concerning performance data.
The data suggests a clear need for targeted interventions and additional support to address the systemic challenges facing many of the schools in this area, such as high chronic absenteeism, low academic achievement, and significant economic disadvantage among the student population. Strategies to improve attendance, provide targeted academic support, and support economically disadvantaged students could be beneficial in helping to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for all students in the Lancaster Elementary, Desert Sands Charter, Life Source International Charter, and Empower Generations districts.
