Summary

Vista Verde Elementary is a K–5 school in Victorville, California, with 774 students in the High Desert area. Its 2025–26 test results make it a local leader, but the most important finding is that it remains below state proficiency levels in all three tested subjects.

Among nine nearby schools with 2025–26 all-grades scores, Vista Verde ranked second in English language arts (ELA) and math, and third in science; Discovery School of the Arts scored higher in all three. Vista Verde had 32% proficient in ELA, 25% in math, and 24% in science, compared with state rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%—gaps of 17, 13, and 12 percentage points. Compared with Snowline Joint Unified, Vista Verde was 3 points lower in ELA and 4 points lower in science, but 4 points higher in math. Fifth grade stands out: Vista Verde ranked second locally in fifth-grade ELA and math, while fourth-grade ELA was a relative weak spot at 26%, 5 points below the district.

Results have improved since 2022–23: proficiency rose 8 percentage points in ELA, 9 in math, and 18 in science, narrowing the gaps with the state by 6, 5, and 12 points, respectively. SchoolDigger places Vista Verde in the 26th statewide percentile and gives it 1 star. Its reported share of students eligible for free/reduced lunch was 84% in 2024–25, and its student-teacher ratio was 23.4 that year. SchoolDigger’s African American Students ranking was notably higher than its overall standing, at the 73rd percentile versus the 26th; its English Language Learner Students ranking fell from the 40th percentile in 2022–23 to the 13th in 2023–24, a change worth monitoring.
