Summary

Helendale Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 541 students in the Helendale Elementary district, standing out as a consistent, mid-performing school in a region where many neighboring schools face significant academic challenges.

When compared to ten nearby elementary schools, Helendale Elementary demonstrates notable strengths, particularly in science where its proficiency rate exceeds the state average and is nearly double that of the next best local school, Gus Franklin Junior. Academically, Helendale achieves solid results for its student population, significantly outperforming other area schools with similar or higher levels of economic need, such as Adelanto Elementary and Puesta del Sol Elementary. The school also shows effective support for certain student subgroups and uses its resources efficiently, achieving its outcomes with lower per-student spending than several lower-performing neighboring districts like Oro Grande and Adelanto Elementary.

The school's main area for improvement is chronic absenteeism, which is higher than state and district averages. If attendance improves, academic results could rise further. Overall, Helendale Elementary maintains a steady 3-star rating, offering reliable educational quality in a broader landscape where many schools, including West Creek Elementary and Westside Park Elementary, rank in the bottom quartile of the state.
