SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,804 California Elementary Schools

Better than 12% of California elementary schools

Summary

Andrew Jackson Elementary is a K–5 school in Indio with 750 students, part of Desert Sands Unified. In 2025–2026, its students were proficient at lower rates than students in the district and statewide in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The most important takeaway is that the school trails both benchmarks in every reported subject.

Math is Andrew Jackson’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, while science is its weakest. In math, 20% of students were proficient, compared with a 24% average at the ten nearby schools; Andrew Jackson ranked fifth among the 11 schools. ELA proficiency was 24%, versus a nearby-school average of 32%, placing the school ninth. Science proficiency was 14%, compared with a nearby average of 23%, and ranked eighth. Compared with district and state results, ELA has the largest gaps: the school’s 24% was 19 percentage points below the district and 25 below the state. Its math result of 20% was 8 points below the district and 18 below the state; science at 14% was 15 and 22 points lower, respectively.

Results have changed modestly over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose from 22% to 24%, while math slipped from 21% to 20% and science from 16% to 14%. The gaps to the state widened in math and science. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 50% in 2021–2022 to 32% in 2025–2026, but remains above the district’s 29% and the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger places Andrew Jackson at the 12th percentile statewide with 1 star, up from the 7th percentile the prior year but below its 20th-percentile standing in 2021–2022. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 22.7, and 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves Special Education Students was notably higher, at the 51st percentile in 2025–2026 versus the school’s overall 12th percentile; the group ranking rose from the 17th percentile in 2023–2024. For English Language Learner Students, the ranking fell from the 57th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 10th percentile in 2023–2024.
