Figures from CDE’s state test, chronic absence and suspension files. Test figures cover every grade the district tests (California tests grades 3–8 and 11), so they differ from a profile’s rated grades. We combined the district’s schools ourselves, weighted by students and leaving out charter schools. Chronically absent means a student missed 10% or more of school days.

The district’s state records
Is the state giving the district extra help?
Lennox isn’t getting extra state help in 2026, only the standard support every district gets.
How English learners moved up on the state’s English test
From spring 2025 to spring 2026, 42% of the district’s English learners moved up at least one level on the state’s English test (ELPAC), or stayed at the top (497 of 1,175 students). California: 47%. It counts students moving up the test’s levels, so a student can count here before becoming fluent.
Does living in the Lennox district decide which school my child attends?
Not by itself. Attendance boundaries, programs, transfers and space all matter. Confirm the school for your address, grade and program with the district.
