Summary

Imperial Valley Home School Academy is a small K–8 school in El Centro, serving 131 students in the El Centro Elementary district. Its 2025–2026 results are uneven: science and English language arts (ELA) stand out, while math is the clearest weakness compared with state performance.

Science and ELA are among the school’s strongest results in the nearby group. In 2025–2026, science proficiency was 40%, compared with 26% in the district and 36% statewide; it was second-highest among nine nearby schools with results, whose average was 26%. ELA was 54%, above the district’s 43% and the state’s 49%, and also second-highest nearby, compared with a group average of 44%. Math was 33%: 2 points above the district, but 5 points below the state and 1 point below the nearby-school average of 34%. Results also vary by grade: sixth-grade ELA was 81%, well above the state’s 48%, while fifth-grade ELA was 42%, below the state’s 49%.

Math has improved over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, it rose from 22% to 33%, and the gap with the state narrowed by 7 points. SchoolDigger places the school at the 60th statewide percentile with 3 stars, just behind nearby Lincoln Elementary at 61; the school’s percentile has fluctuated, including a rise from 44 the previous year. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 26.2, higher than the nine nearby schools with reported ratios, and 58% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the lowest reported rate among ten nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s Hispanic-student percentile rose to 65 in 2025–2026, from 44 the year before, compared with an overall school percentile of 60. The supplied data suppress third- and seventh-grade scores, and the school’s reported 0% chronic absenteeism in all five years—versus 16% districtwide and 18% statewide in 2025–2026—should be verified rather than taken as proof of perfect attendance.
