Summary:
Antelope, California, has 11 schools: seven elementary, one middle and three high schools serving different grade spans. In 2025–26, the average school result was below the state rate in all three reported subjects, but individual schools ranged from well above to well below the state. The most important takeaway is that citywide averages conceal large differences between schools.
Several schools stand out in particular subjects: Antelope High and Center High had the strongest all-grades ELA results, at 59% and 62%; Center was 13 percentage points above the state rate. Olive Grove Elementary led math at 53%, 14 points above the state, and also led listed elementary schools in grade 3 and grade 5 ELA and grades 3–5 math. Antelope Crossing Middle led science at 53%, 17 points above the state. At the other end, McClellan High (Continuation) had the lowest all-grades ELA and math results, at 7% and 0%; its science result was 20%. Its small enrollment and continuation-school setting make it different from a comprehensive high school.
ELA and math school averages improved by about 2 percentage points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while science slipped by about 1 point as the state rate rose by 3. School trends differ: Antelope Crossing gained in all three subjects, while Barrett Ranch Elementary gained 13 points in science but declined in ELA and math. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Antelope Crossing rose from 68 to 75 over three years; Barrett Ranch’s fell from 61 to 47. Attendance adds another point of comparison: chronic absenteeism was 28% at Center High and 11% at Antelope High, compared with 18% statewide. All schools reported a free/reduced lunch eligible measure for 2024–25; it ranged from 53% at Center High to 73% at McClellan, a contextual measure that does not explain school results.
