Summary

Anaverde Hills is a 517-student K–6 elementary school in Palmdale, California, part of the Westside Union Elementary district. SchoolDigger places it at the 43rd statewide percentile with 2 stars, close to the district’s 46th percentile and 2 stars. The clearest concern is math, especially in third and fourth grades.

Science is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: 34% of students were proficient, about 11 percentage points above the nearby-school average, and Anaverde scored higher than seven of nine nearby schools. It was also 6 points above the district, though 2 points below the state. Math was 26% proficient—12 points below the state, 6 below the district, and 1 below the nearby-school average. Third- and fourth-grade math were particularly low: 23% and 19%, respectively. ELA was 43%, 6 points below the state and 2 below the district, but 6 points above the nearby-school average. Results vary considerably by grade: sixth-grade ELA reached 60%, the highest among nearby schools reporting results, while fourth-grade ELA was 32%.

Scores have risen since 2022–2023, but the state has improved more, so the gaps have widened in ELA and math; science rose 4 percentage points, yet moved from slightly above the state to 2 points below. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile has fluctuated, from 47 in 2022–2023 to 35 in 2023–2024 and 43 in the latest two years. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 23.4, the second-lowest among nearby schools with data. That year, 55% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the lowest nearby figure for the same measure and year; California has statewide free meals. Chronic absenteeism also fell substantially, from 38% in 2021–2022 to 12% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 15% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for Special Education Students fell to the 7th percentile in 2025–2026, from the 19th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 43rd percentile. Nearby schools have different grade spans, and subgroup enrollment counts were not provided.
