Summary

Arroyo Verde Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 518 students in Highland, California, as part of the Redlands Unified School District, and it consistently earns a solid, mid-tier 3-star rating.

The school performs well academically compared to other local schools with similar student demographics, scoring above state averages in English, math, and science despite a significant portion of its students coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. It also does an excellent job managing student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate better than the state average and notably better than nearby schools like Franklin Elementary and Lugonia Elementary. Within its own district, it sits in the middle of the pack, performing better than schools with higher poverty rates but not as high as top performers like Cram Elementary.

While Arroyo Verde's overall performance has declined from its previous 4-star status, it achieves these results very efficiently, spending significantly less per student than schools in the neighboring San Bernardino City Unified district while getting stronger outcomes. Parents should note that test scores show math proficiency tends to decrease in the upper grades, and the school's performance varies considerably for different groups of students, with some subgroups performing very strongly and others lagging behind.
