Summary

Mariposa Elementary is a K–5 school in Redlands, California, in Redlands Unified, serving 432 students. Its 2025–26 proficiency results were well above state and district levels in English Language Arts (ELA), math, and science. The standout finding is its across-the-board strength: among 10 nearby schools, Mariposa ranked second in ELA and math and first in science.

Mariposa’s results are especially strong compared with state and district averages: proficiency was 71% in ELA, 62% in math, and 51% in science, versus 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide and 51%, 37%, and 34% in Redlands Unified, respectively. Those results put Mariposa 22, 24, and 15 percentage points above the state, and 20, 25, and 17 points above its district. It narrowly trailed Kimberly Elementary in ELA and math, but led it in science by about a point. Within Mariposa, fifth-grade math is the clearest area to watch: proficiency fell to 48%, from 67% in fourth grade, though it remained above state and district fifth-grade results.

ELA and math ended the four-year score series higher than they began, up about 3 and 4 points, while science fell about 8 points from 2022–23 and its lead over the state narrowed from 28 points to 15. SchoolDigger ranked Mariposa 881st of 5,804 schools, at the 85th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–26; it had the second-highest percentile among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves Special Education Students was at the 72nd percentile in 2025–26, below its overall 85th percentile.
