Summary

Newberry Springs Elementary is a small, rural public school serving about 106 students in grades K-5 within the Silver Valley Unified district, and it has shown an impressive academic turnaround in recent years.

The school stands out from nearby elementary schools like Cameron Elementary and Montara Elementary in the Barstow Unified district with significantly higher English Language Arts scores, smaller class sizes, and more funding per student. For instance, its student-teacher ratio of 14-to-1 is much lower than the over 23-to-1 ratios at those neighboring schools, and it spends nearly twice as much per student. It also outperforms its closest district peer, Yermo Elementary, academically while having better student attendance.

While the school excels in reading and writing, especially in the upper grades, its math and science scores, though improving, are areas for continued growth. The school's small size appears to be a major advantage, allowing for more individual attention. For families in the area, Newberry Springs Elementary offers a notably stronger and more supportive learning environment compared to other local options.
