Summary:

The 13 schools in Barstow Unified serve elementary, middle and high school students in ZIP code 92311. In 2025–2026, Barstow High had the area’s highest all-grades proficiency results: 43% in English language arts (ELA), 28% in math and 30% in science. Those results were still below state rates of 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. The most important takeaway is that even the leading school’s reported proficiency rates fall short of state levels.

Barstow High led the all-grades results by 8 points in ELA, 2 points in math and 6 points in science over the next-highest schools. At the lower end, Central High (Continuation) had 3% proficiency in ELA and 0% in math, while Barstow Intermediate had 4% in science. Comparisons among similar grades also show sizable differences: in 5th grade, Barstow STEM Academy was 24 points ahead of Barstow Intermediate in ELA. Among elementary schools, Skyline North Elementary led reported 3rd- and 4th-grade ELA results, while Barstow Fine Arts Academy led 3rd-grade math.

Recent changes were mixed: Barstow High rose 6 points in ELA and 12 in math, and Skyline North rose 13 points in ELA; Central High fell 6 points in ELA and 8 in math. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings also vary widely, from the 50th percentile for Barstow High to the 1st for Barstow Junior High and the 0th for Crestline Elementary. Context differs too: STEM Academy’s student–teacher ratio is 30.2:1, compared with 20.7:1 at Barstow Junior High; free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025 range from 58% at Fine Arts Academy to 91% at Crestline, without explaining school results. The high schools also differ in completion: Barstow High’s graduation rate was 92%, versus 46% at Central High, a continuation school. Scores are unavailable for some schools, and all-grades results compare schools serving different grades.
