Summary

Mission Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 594 students in the Redlands Unified district, currently ranking in the middle of California elementary schools while serving a community with significant economic need.

Academically, the school's performance has declined over the past decade, and it currently performs below the district average in English Language Arts and Science, while math scores are close to the state average. A key challenge is chronic absenteeism, with nearly a quarter of students missing significant school time, though this rate has improved from recent highs. Performance varies by grade, with 4th grade showing the greatest need for support, while 5th grade performs strongest in English. The school spends about $17,746 per student, which is comparable to others in the district.

Compared to nearby schools in Redlands, Mission Elementary sits in the middle. It performs better than higher-poverty schools like Victoria Elementary and Franklin Elementary, but lags behind schools like Smiley Elementary and Bryn Mawr Elementary, which achieve stronger results. Schools in neighboring districts generally have lower rankings despite higher per-student spending.
