Public Grades K-8

Summary

Yellen Learning Center is a very small public elementary school serving just 58 students in grades K-8 within the Palmdale Elementary School District, which ranks in the bottom 15% of all districts in California.

The school faces significant academic and attendance challenges, with proficiency rates in English and math below 2% and over half of its students chronically absent, which is more than double the district average. These outcomes are notably lower than nearby schools like Los Amigos - Dual Immersion and Barrel Springs Elementary, which have much higher proficiency despite serving similar high-need populations. This is despite Yellen Learning Center having extraordinary resources, including a very low student-teacher ratio of about 5-to-1 and per-student spending that is approximately six times higher than other local schools.

The combination of high resources and low results suggests the school may serve a specialized student population with intensive needs. While still critically low, there are small signs of recent improvement in attendance and test scores. For parents, understanding the school's specific mission and the strategies in place to address chronic absenteeism are key areas for further investigation when considering this unique educational setting.
