Summary:

The six schools in Mojave Unified serve kindergarten through grade 12: three elementary schools, one middle school and two high schools, with 2,902 students total. Five schools reported 2025–26 test results; Robert P. Ulrich Elementary, which serves kindergarten through grade 2, has no test scores in the supplied data. Across the five reporting schools, average proficiency was 23% in ELA, 10% in math and 12% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important area-wide finding is that even the leading local school in each subject fell below the state result: by 4 points in ELA, 21 in math and 14 in science.

California City High stands out in ELA and science, scoring 46% and 22%, respectively; those results lead the next-highest schools by 15 and 3 points. Hacienda Elementary leads math at 17%, 4 points ahead of California City High. The lowest results vary by subject: Mojave Elementary has the lowest ELA result at 11%, Mojave Junior/Senior High the lowest math at 6%, and California City Middle the lowest science at 4%. Grade-by-grade results add nuance: Hacienda is ahead of Mojave Elementary in every shared tested subject across grades 3–5, while Mojave Junior/Senior High leads California City Middle in grade 8 math and science.

Results improved on average from 2024–25 to 2025–26, with the five-school averages rising about 4 percentage points in each subject. California City High and Hacienda improved in all three; Mojave Elementary and California City Middle each had a small ELA decline. SchoolDigger’s reported percentile rose from 32 to 35 for California City High, 16 to 24 for Mojave Junior/Senior High, and 9 to 16 for Hacienda between 2023–24 and 2025–26. Other measures offer context, not explanations: the average student–teacher ratio is 23.2, with Hacienda highest at 27.6; all six schools report free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25, ranging from 80% at California City High to 91% at Mojave Elementary. Chronic absenteeism is high throughout, from 42% at Hacienda to 55% at Robert P. Ulrich, versus 18% statewide.
