Summary

Mission Elementary is a K–5 school serving 594 students in Redlands, in the Redlands Unified area. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was 45% in English language arts (ELA), 36% in math, and 19% in science; it was below the state and district in all three subjects. Science is the clearest concern: the score fell from 29% in 2022–2023 to 19% in 2025–2026, leaving the school 17 percentage points below the state and 14 below the district.

Compared with nearby K–5 schools in the district, math and ELA are relative strengths, while science stands out as a weakness. Mission’s math proficiency was 36%, above the nearby-school average of 34%, and its ELA score was 45%, just above the peer average of 44%. Science was 19%, well below the nearby-school average of 33% and second-lowest among the eight schools compared. Results also vary by grade: grade 4 was a bright spot, with 54% in ELA—above both the state at 46% and district at 49%—and 45% in math, compared with 42% for both. Grade 5 math was much lower at 22%, below the state’s 37% and the district’s 33%; grade 5 science was 19%, versus about 35% for both.

ELA has improved overall, rising from 40% in 2022–2023 to 45% in 2025–2026, while math has been nearly flat, moving from 35% to 36%. Attendance is another concern: chronic absenteeism was 27% in 2025–2026, up 3 percentage points from the prior year and above the district’s 21% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger places Mission at the 47th statewide percentile with 2 stars, close to the nearby-school average of 48, but down 28 percentile points from 2016–2017. Its student-teacher ratio was 24.2 in 2024–2025, near the peer average of about 24.5; 68% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year, compared with a nearby-school average of about 72%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Special Education students is notably higher than its overall standing: the group was at the 76th percentile, versus 47 overall in 2025–2026. For English Language Learner students, the latest listed ranking was at the 37th percentile in 2022–2023, down from the 90th percentile in 2021–2022.
