Summary:
The 92371 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools, all part of the Snowline Joint Unified School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 1012 out of 1568 in California with a 2-star rating, one school stands out as a clear academic leader - Heritage, an elementary/middle school that ranks 1390 out of 5,862 California elementary schools and has a 4-star rating.
Heritage significantly outperforms the district and state averages on standardized test scores, with 57.05% of its students proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 31.55% for the district and 47.04% statewide. The school also has very low chronic absenteeism rates at 11.2%, compared to the district averages of 29.7% for middle schools and 42.8% for elementary schools. In contrast, the other schools in the area struggle with much higher chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.0% at Snowline Academy to 76.1% at Eagle Summit Community Day.
The alternative schools in the area, such as Snowline Academy and Mojave River Academy - Marble City, play an important role in serving high-need students, but their low graduation rates (38.5% at Eagle Summit) and high dropout rates (up to 46.2% at Eagle Summit) indicate these students are still not being adequately supported. Addressing the systemic challenges facing the Snowline Joint Unified School District as a whole, while replicating the successful practices at Heritage, could be key to improving educational outcomes for all students in the 92371 zip code area.
