Summary

Theodore Vick Elementary serves 494 students in grades K–5 in Adelanto, California. Its 2025–26 proficiency results were below state averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science. SchoolDigger ranks it at the 12th percentile statewide with 1 star, compared with the Adelanto Elementary district at the 8th percentile with 0 stars. The most important finding is that science is a meaningful relative strength, while ELA is the school’s clearest academic weakness.

Science proficiency was 27%—9 percentage points below California, but 10 points above the district and second-highest among seven nearby K–5 schools with current results; their average was 18%. ELA proficiency was 20%, 29 points below the state, 6 below the district and 6 below the nearby-school average of 26%. Math was 17% proficient: 21 points below the state, 1 above the district and 2 below the nearby-school average of 19%. Fifth grade is a bright spot within the school: 36% were proficient in ELA, compared with 13% in third grade and 14% in fourth. Still, fourth-grade ELA was among the weakest results in the nearby comparison.

Results over time are most encouraging in science: proficiency rose 20 percentage points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, although scores dipped before the latest increase. ELA rose only 1 point over that period, while math gained 7 points but fell 2 points from the previous year. Chronic absenteeism also remains a concern: 34% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, 15 points above the state and 11 above the district, despite a 19-point decline since 2021–22. The latest student–teacher ratio was 22.4 in 2024–25, lower than at other same-district K–5 schools, but that did not coincide with stronger results in every subject. The school reported 72% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, within the range reported by nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness percentile for African American students was 18 in 2025–26, after moving from 40 to 7 in the previous two years; for students receiving special education, it fell from 24 to 6 while the overall percentile rose from 8 to 12. These group rankings describe SchoolDigger’s assessment of how well the school serves each group, not the students themselves.
