Summary

Yermo Elementary is a public K-8 school in the Silver Valley Unified School District, serving 368 students in the town of Yermo, California. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of California elementary schools over the past several years, with a current statewide ranking of 3615 out of 5857 schools and a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Yermo Elementary faces significant challenges in student achievement, with consistently lower test scores in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 34.16% of Yermo students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to 48.99% for the district and 48.81% statewide. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.3% to 24.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Yermo has a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 82.88% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, much higher than the state average.

While Yermo Elementary's performance lags behind nearby Barstow Unified schools, such as Newberry Springs Elementary, which had a 58.62% ELA/Literacy proficiency rate in 2024-2025, the school's special education students performed relatively better, ranking in the top 21% of California schools in that category. This suggests the school may be providing effective programs and services for this population, which could provide insights for improving outcomes for other student groups.
