Summary
Serving 267 students in grades K–5 in Adelanto, California, Adelanto Elementary is part of the Adelanto Elementary district. Its results are low compared with the district, the state and nearby K–5 schools: in 2025–2026, just 10% of students were proficient in ELA, 7% in math and 8% in science. The most important finding is that Adelanto had the lowest all-grades proficiency rates in all three subjects among six nearby K–5 schools.
Adelanto’s results fell below the state by 39 percentage points in ELA, 31 in math and 28 in science, and below its district by 15, 8 and 10 points, respectively. The nearby K–5 schools averaged 25% proficiency in ELA, 18% in math and 19% in science; Adelanto was below those averages by 15, 11 and 11 points. ELA is its weakest result relative to all three benchmarks, while math is comparatively closer to the district and nearby-school average. Chronic absenteeism is another concern: 44% of Adelanto students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, versus 23% districtwide and 18% statewide, and the rate was higher than at each of the six nearby K–5 schools.
Scores have risen overall since 2022–2023—by 4 percentage points in ELA, 1 in math and 5 in science—but the state gap did not consistently narrow: it narrowed by 1 point in ELA and widened by 2 points in math and 1 in science. Chronic absenteeism has also improved, falling from 62% in 2022–2023 to 44% in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger ranked Adelanto 5,767 of 5,804 statewide in 2025–2026, at the 1st percentile with 0 stars; it tied West Creek Elementary for the lowest percentile among the six nearby schools, while most of those schools also ranked near the bottom statewide. Adelanto enrolled fewer students than any of the six peers, which averaged 491, but its 23.2 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 was typical of the group. The school reported 90% free/reduced lunch eligible in school year 2024–2025; this is context, not an explanation for its results. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well Adelanto served African American students briefly stood above its overall standing: 17th percentile in 2021–2022, compared with 1st percentile overall, then 1st percentile in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025.
