Summary

Adelanto High is a high school in Adelanto, California, serving grades 9–12 with 2,247 students. Its results vary sharply by subject: English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA) has become a strength, but mathematics is the clearest concern, with 11% proficient in 2025–2026 compared with 23% in the Victor Valley Union High district and 38% statewide.

ELA results are notably stronger: 54% of Adelanto students were proficient, 8 percentage points above the district and 4 above the state. Among nearby schools with comparable results, Adelanto ranked second, behind Oak Hills High at 58% and ahead of Hesperia High at 53%. Science is another relative strength: 32% were proficient, 3 points above the district but 4 below the state, ranking second among nearby schools with reported results. However, 12th-grade science proficiency was only 11%, 22 points below Adelanto’s 11th-grade result. Graduation is a positive counterpoint: the 92% rate was 4 points above the state and 8 above the district. Chronic absenteeism remains a concern at 23%, 5 points above the state.

Progress is concentrated in ELA and science: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose from 37% to 54% and science from 15% to 32%, while math edged up only from 10% to 11%; its state deficit widened from 25 to 27 points. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking improved from the 28th percentile and 1 star in 2021–2022 to the 46th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 23.3, and 86% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves Special Education Students placed it at the 22nd percentile, 24 points below the school’s overall standing; its Multi-racial Students ranking reached the 27th percentile, up 21 points from 2023–2024.
