Summary

Antelope Hills Elementary is a public elementary school in Murrieta, California, serving 841 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Murrieta Valley Unified School District, which is ranked 294 out of 1,565 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Antelope Hills Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic assessments, with 64.92% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 59.84% in Mathematics, compared to 63.07% and 47.69% for the district, respectively. The school's performance in Science is also above the district and state averages. Notably, Antelope Hills Elementary has particularly strong performance among Hispanic and Special Education students, ranking in the top 10% and top 5% of California elementary schools in these subgroups.

While Antelope Hills Elementary's overall academic excellence is impressive, its performance for White and Multi-racial students is more average compared to other California elementary schools. This could indicate a need to further examine the educational experiences and support provided to these student groups. Nonetheless, the school's focus on equity and inclusion, combined with its higher per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, contribute to its success. Antelope Hills Elementary outperforms most nearby schools in the Murrieta Valley Unified School District, though Tovashal Elementary and Alta Murrieta Elementary also demonstrate strong academic performance.
