Summary

Anaverde Hills is a K-6 elementary school serving 517 students in Palmdale, California, operating within the Westside Union Elementary School District, which is ranked near the middle of all districts in the state.

The school's overall academic performance is below the state average, with a particular and significant challenge in mathematics where student proficiency is much lower than both the district and state. However, the school shows a relative strength in science, outperforming averages, and serves its Hispanic students and English Language Learners effectively. It struggles more with outcomes for students in special education. Chronic absenteeism is a concern, higher than the state average, though lower than some neighboring schools in the Palmdale Elementary district.

Comparisons within its own district reveal stark differences; while Cottonwood Elementary performs dramatically higher, Esperanza Elementary performs similarly to Anaverde Hills. Most schools in the neighboring Palmdale district, like Tumbleweed Elementary and Yucca Elementary, perform worse academically, despite typically receiving higher per-student funding. This suggests school-specific factors play a major role, and Anaverde Hills has shown a gradual recovery in its statewide ranking in recent years after a period of decline.
