Summary

Dunlap Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 382 students in the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified school district, which ranks below average statewide, and the school itself has experienced a significant decline in academic standing over the past several years.

Academic performance at Dunlap Elementary is a serious concern, with proficiency rates in English (29%), Math (18%), and Science (7%) all far below state averages; notably, math scores drop sharply in the upper grades. The school also struggles with chronic student absenteeism at 24%, which is higher than the state average. Interestingly, Dunlap spends more per student than many nearby schools, including higher-performing ones, raising questions about how effectively resources are being used to support student learning.

When compared to other local options, the challenges become clearer. While Calimesa Elementary faces similar difficulties, schools like Chapman Heights Elementary and Ridgeview Elementary in the same district perform better academically with similar student demographics. Furthermore, nearby charter schools such as Competitive Edge Charter Academy (CECA) and Inland Leaders Charter achieve much higher academic rankings with lower per-student spending, suggesting instructional or structural differences may be at play.
