Summary:
The 95240 zip code area in Lodi, California is home to 12 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Lodi Unified School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 951 out of 1,568 districts in California and has an overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars, a few standout schools in the area demonstrate strong performance.
Rio Valley Charter stands out with an impressive 96.8% four-year graduation rate and only a 3.2% dropout rate, significantly better than the district and state averages. It also has relatively strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, where 11th graders scored 49.33% proficient or better compared to the state average of 55.73%. In contrast, the two high schools in the area, Tokay High and Liberty High, have varying graduation rates of 89.4% and 62.1%, respectively, and dropout rates ranging from 6.8% to 7.7%.
Another standout is Leroy Nichols Elementary, which ranks in the top 2,739 out of 5,874 California elementary schools and has above-average test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state. However, chronic absenteeism is a significant issue across most schools in the area, with rates ranging from 0.0% at Rio Valley Charter to 73.6% at Liberty High. Additionally, the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, often over 80%, suggest that the schools serve predominantly low-income communities, which can present additional challenges.
