Lennox Mathematics, Science and Technology Academy scores 56 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 77th percentile of 2,160 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “55% proficient” and call it done. Lennox Mathematics, Science and Technology Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in Lennox, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 74.4% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.
As a charter, Lennox Mathematics, Science and Technology Academy enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
