Summary

Eucalyptus Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 737 students in the Hesperia Unified district, operating in a high-need community where 87% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 12% of California elementary schools with low proficiency rates in English (25%) and math (18%). A major factor is chronic absenteeism, with 39% of students missing too much school, which is double the state average and closely linked to lower performance; nearby schools like Mesa Grande Elementary (41% absenteeism) show similar struggles, while LaVerne Elementary Preparatory Academy excels with under 4% absenteeism. Despite overall low scores, Eucalyptus shows a relative strength, performing better than most schools in the state at supporting its English Language Learner students.

The school's performance varies greatly by grade, with 5th-grade math proficiency alarmingly low at under 4%. Compared to some district peers like Topaz Preparatory Academy, Eucalyptus lags behind, and it spends significantly more per student than higher-achieving local charter schools. While there has been a slight recent improvement in its statewide ranking, Eucalyptus continues to work on systemic challenges common to the Hesperia Unified district, where the highest-performing nearby options are often charter schools in different districts.
