Lowell Joint’s schools enrolled 3,014 students in the 2022-23 school year, 1.1% less than the previous year, according to the California Department of Education.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 50.7% of them were boys, and 49.2% were girls.

Lowell Joint School District covers six schools within Los Angeles County with its main office in Whittier.
