Elementary: Woodrow W. Wallace Elementary, 14th percentile statewide (Needs Support). Middle: Woodrow Wallace Middle, 33rd percentile statewide (Developing). High: Kern Valley High, 8th percentile statewide (Needs Support). Each level is ranked separately, and a few percentiles apart is a tie. A rank doesn’t decide fit or whether a child can enroll.
Does living in Lake Isabella decide which school my child attends?
No. A city can hold schools from more than one district, and attendance boundaries decide which school serves an address. Confirm the school for your address with the district.
Where do these results come from?
California’s state tests (CAASPP) from spring 2025 and chronic-absence rates for 2024–25, both published by the California Department of Education. Percentiles, bands and Scope Scores are SchoolScope’s calculations, not official state ratings. Private schools don’t take the state tests, so we don’t score them. Methodology and limitations.
