Summary

George Visual and Performing Arts Magnet and Middle is a K-8 public magnet school serving 685 students in Adelanto, CA, a community where the Adelanto Elementary district faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 7% statewide.

While the school's overall state ranking is low (19th percentile), it stands out as a stronger performer within its district, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science that are notably higher than the district averages. Its most exceptional strength is student attendance; with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.5%, it far outperforms the district average of 30.6% and the state average, suggesting the arts-focused magnet program successfully engages students. The school shows particular effectiveness with English Language Learners and special education students, and its 7th graders excel in English, scoring well above both district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, George is a relative bright spot among traditional district schools but faces competition from alternatives. For instance, Gus Franklin Junior (another district school) and the charter school Desert Trails Preparatory Academy both achieve higher academic rankings. Parents should note some concerning trends, including a decline in the school's overall ranking over recent years and a significant drop in performance for male students. The school operates with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than some of these higher-performing local options.

Wednesday, July 24, 2019

I love my school. I have been teaching here at this site for 10 years. The staff is wonderful and we have high expectations for our students. We are on the cutting edge of other school districts in the area as we prepare our teacher and students to become masters in coding. Our students also become musicians, artists, and performers. It’s truly an amazing school. Close Quote
