Summary

Pearblossom Elementary is a K-8 school serving 435 students in the Keppel Union Elementary district, standing out as the top-performing school in its local district despite the district's overall low statewide ranking.

Within its own district, Pearblossom Elementary consistently scores 8-11 points higher in English, Math, and Science than the district average, outperforming peers like Alpine Elementary and Lake Los Angeles Elementary. The school shows particular strength in supporting Special Education students, ranking in the state's top 21% for that group. However, it faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, at 33.5%, which is higher than most other schools in the Keppel Union Elementary district.

When compared to a higher-performing school in a neighboring district, Los Amigos - Dual Immersion in the Palmdale Elementary district scores significantly higher in core subjects with a much lower absentee rate. Parents should note that test scores at Pearblossom vary widely by grade, with middle school math being a notable area for improvement, and that performance for English Language Learners has declined sharply in recent years after previously being a strength.
