Summary:
The 25 schools in Hesperia Unified include 15 elementary, three middle, six high and one alternative school, serving students from elementary through high school in Hesperia. In 2025–26, the unweighted school averages were 28% in ELA, 17% in math and 17% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. Just three schools exceeded the state in ELA, two in math and one of the 24 reporting in science. The most important finding is that school results vary substantially, so the districtwide picture does not describe every school.
Krystal School of Science Math & Technology led all three subjects, with 60% ELA, 53% math and 46% science—11, 14 and 10 percentage points above state results. Oak Hills High led high schools in all three subjects (58% ELA, 25% math and 32% science); its 11th-grade ELA result was 1 point above the state. Mesquite Trails Elementary also topped the state in math, at 40% versus 38%. At the lower end, Mojave High had the lowest reported ELA and science results, both 3%; Hesperia Community Day had 0% in math. Joshua Circle Elementary had the lowest elementary ELA and math results, 13% and 7%.
From 2024–25 to 2025–26, average ELA and science results rose about 1 percentage point, while math was nearly unchanged. The ELA gap with the state narrowed slightly, but the math and science gaps widened. Individual changes differed: Hesperia High gained 7 points in ELA, while Sultana High fell 14 points. SchoolDigger’s three-year percentile ranking rose 16 points for Ranchero Middle and fell 11 for Topaz Preparatory Academy. The 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 48% at Krystal, 54% at Oak Hills and 65% at Mesquite Trails; these figures are context, not an explanation for results. Chronic absenteeism was especially high at Canyon Ridge (81%), Hesperia Community Day (79%) and Mojave (71%), compared with 18% statewide, while Shadow Ridge was below the state at 12%. These observations do not establish what caused a school’s results.
