Summary:
The city of Adelanto, California is home to 12 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 70% to over 90%. While the district faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, a few standout schools have emerged.
George Visual and Performing Arts Magnet and Middle is the top-performing school, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are significantly above the district and state averages. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate among the elementary/middle schools. Desert Trails Preparatory Academy, a public charter elementary/middle school, also has strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state in many areas. Meanwhile, Adelanto High has a relatively high 90.5% four-year graduation rate, despite lower proficiency rates compared to the state.
However, the majority of schools in Adelanto struggle with low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and resource inequities. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for improving educational outcomes across the Adelanto Elementary, Victor Valley Union High, and Desert Trails Preparatory Academy District.
