Summary
El Mirage is a small K–8 school in Adelanto, California, serving 128 students in the Adelanto Elementary district. In 2025–2026, its all-grade proficiency was below California’s in ELA (18% versus 49%), math (16% versus 38%), and science (21% versus 36%). The most important takeaway is that results remain well below state levels, despite a relative bright spot in science.
Science is El Mirage’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: its 21% proficiency was above the nearby average of 16% and the district’s 18%, though below the state’s 36%. ELA is its clearest weakness: 18% was below the nearby average of 22% and the district’s 25%, and was the second-lowest result among nine nearby schools with reported scores. Math was about even with the district and nearby average, at 16%. Grade results vary: grade 3 math was 8%, below every nearby school reporting that grade, while grade 8 ELA and math were both above district results.
Scores have risen over the four reported years: ELA gained 12 percentage points, math 14, and science 8, although science’s improvement was not steady. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 48% in 2021–2022 to 24% in 2025–2026, the lowest rate among the nearby schools listed, but it remained above the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger places El Mirage in the state’s 4th percentile with 0 stars, up from the 0th percentile the year before. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21 students per teacher, lower than the nearby average of 23.2. In 2024–2025, 78% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby average of 81%; these figures provide context, not an explanation for the results.
