History
In 1985 97% of the students in the district were of ethnic groups other than non-Hispanic white. That year, Los Angeles County education superintendent Stuart E. Gothold stated that the district had been "finding innovative ways to adjust to rapidly changing pupil populations".[6]
Schools
Lower secondary:
- Lennox Middle School
- It opened in 1985 in the former Lennox High School, which was acquired from the Centinela Valley high school district and now with material to reduce the sound volume from jets at Los Angeles International Airport. Unlike the Centinela Valley district, all of the Lennox elementary district schools were, by that time, majority racial minorities. Additionally, the public did not emphasize desegregation as much by the time 1985 occurred. These two factors meant that no legal efforts to stop the use of the school as a middle school has occurred.[7]
Primary:
- Buford Elementary School
- Felton Elementary School
- Dolores Huerta Elementary School
- Jefferson Elementary School
- Moffett Elementary School
Other:
- School Readiness Center
- Lennox State Preschool
- Lennox Virtual Academy
