Summary
Oak View High School & Education Center is a 90-student public school serving grades 7–12 in Yucaipa, in the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified district. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were low in all three tested subjects: 9% in English Language Arts (ELA), 4.8% in math and 5.3% in science. The graduation rate was 73%, below the district’s 94% and the state’s 88%. The most urgent concern is chronic absenteeism: 88% of students were chronically absent, compared with 20% districtwide and 18% statewide.
Oak View’s all-grades ELA result was the lowest among nearby schools with 2025–26 results; its math and science results were each second-lowest. Across eight nearby schools, average proficiency was 50% in ELA, 24% in math and 26% in science, putting Oak View 41, 20 and 21 percentage points lower, respectively. Its rates were also below state results by 40 points in ELA, 34 in math and 31 in science, and below district results by 34, 27 and 26 points. Math was relatively Oak View’s strongest subject compared with the state and nearby-school averages, but it remained far behind both. Among nearby schools with attendance data, Oak View’s 88% chronic absenteeism rate exceeded the next-highest, Green Valley High, at 72%. Results from schools with different grade spans are not perfectly comparable, and Oak View’s seventh- and eighth-grade test figures are suppressed.
Scores have improved from their 2023–24 low, when all three subjects were reported at 0%: by 2025–26, ELA had reached 9%, math 4.8% and science 5.3%. However, Oak View’s gaps from state results were wider in all three subjects than in 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s statewide standing rose from the 0th percentile in 2023–24 to the 10th percentile in 2025–26, when it received 1 star and ranked 1,918th of 2,137 schools. The school’s 14.7 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 was the third-lowest among nearby schools with comparable figures, and its enrollment was the smallest; neither measure coincided with strong proficiency results. In 2024–25, 83% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the highest reported share among nearby schools with the same measure and year.
