Summary:
The 49421 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Hesperia Community Schools district. Unfortunately, these schools appear to be struggling academically, with low proficiency rates across the board compared to state averages.
The elementary school, Patricia St Clair Elementary, has particularly concerning proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, ranging from just 6.7% to 27.7% proficient. The middle school, David C Outwin Middle, also has low proficiency rates in these core subjects. At the high school level, Hesperia High School has better but still below-average performance in Science, Social Studies, and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing on the SAT.
Chronic absenteeism is a major issue across all three schools, ranging from 33.8% at the elementary school to 47.5% at the high school. These extremely high rates likely contribute to the poor academic outcomes. Additionally, the schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 62.2% to 80.7% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While spending per student varies, with the elementary school spending nearly twice as much as the high school, more resources and targeted interventions will be needed to help these schools and their students succeed.
