Summary:

ZIP code 92363 has six schools serving elementary, middle, and high-school grades, with 851 students enrolled across Needles Unified. The reported 2025–2026 school averages are 33% in ELA, 23% in math, and 22% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38%, and 36%. Schools vary in grade span, so comparisons are not strictly like-for-like. The most important takeaway is that the reporting-school averages trail the state in all three subjects, by 17 percentage points in ELA, 16 in math, and 14 in science.

Chemehuevi Valley Elementary stands out in ELA and math, with 42% in each; its math result is 26 points above the other reporting schools’ average and 4 points above the state, while its ELA result is 13 points above the other schools’ average but 7 below the state. At the lower end, Vista Colorado Elementary has the lowest reported ELA score, 22%, and Needles Middle the lowest math score, 12%; Needles Middle also has the lowest reported science result, 15%. Needles High has the highest reported science score, 27%, though that remains 9 points below the state.

Results changed unevenly between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026: the reporting-school average fell by about 1 point in ELA, was essentially unchanged in math, and rose by about 2 points in science; the school-to-state gap widened by about 1 point in each subject. Needles High’s science rose 12 points and math 6, while its ELA fell 7; Needles Middle’s ELA rose 4 points, but its science fell 8. SchoolDigger places Needles High at the 40th percentile, Needles Middle at the 15th, and Vista Colorado at the 11th. Attendance also varies sharply: chronic absenteeism is 9% at Chemehuevi Valley, below the 18% state rate, compared with 69% at Needles Community Day and 90% at Educational Training Center. For context, five schools report free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025, ranging from 77% at Needles High to 94% at Needles Community Day; Educational Training Center reports a different measure, 67% directly certified for free meals in 2024–2025.
