Summary

El Mirage is a small K-8 elementary school serving 128 students in the Adelanto Elementary school district, which faces significant academic challenges across the region.

Academically, El Mirage is one of the lowest-performing schools in California, with very few students meeting state standards in English, math, and science. While most grades struggle, 7th grade English scores are notably stronger, suggesting some effective teaching at that level. The school has made real progress in improving student attendance, which is now better than some nearby schools like Adelanto Elementary and Westside Park Elementary. However, it spends significantly more money per student than higher-achieving schools in the same district, such as the George Visual and Performing Arts Magnet.

Compared to other local schools, El Mirage's performance is similar to Adelanto Elementary but lags behind others like Theodore Vick Elementary. Schools in neighboring districts, such as Phelan Elementary in the Snowline Joint Unified district, often perform better despite serving families with similar economic needs. The standout success of the magnet school in the same district suggests that specialized programs can make a difference in student engagement and results.
