Summary

Glen Yermo Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 308 students in the Saddleback Valley Unified district of Mission Viejo, known for having the highest percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds among its neighboring schools.

Academically, the school earns a 3-star rating, performing in the middle tier statewide with test scores near California averages. The context is important: while overall scores are below the district average, the school shows significant strength in educating its specific student population, with historically high rankings for its English Language Learners and students from low-income families. The school dedicates considerable resources to this mission, spending more per student and maintaining a lower student-teacher ratio than any nearby school, including high-performing charters like Oxford Preparatory Academy - Saddleback Valley.

Key areas for parents to note include a notable gap in science proficiency compared to other subjects and schools like Del Cerro Elementary, and improving but still above-average chronic absenteeism. Performance also varies by grade, with fifth grade being a particular focus. Compared to peers such as Rancho Canada Elementary, Glen Yermo serves a community with greater economic needs but provides intensive support, resulting in a profile of a school that is effectively meeting significant challenges.
