Summary:

ZIP code 92368 has nine schools: eight alternative schools serving K–12 and one elementary school serving K–6; the latest scores are from 2025–2026 for all but one school. Across the seven K–12 schools in the Mojave River Academy – Oro Grande group, average proficiency was 17% in English, 3% in math and 7% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The most important finding for families is that even the strongest results among these alternative schools remain well below state levels.

Among the seven alternative schools, Mojave River Academy – Oro Grande led in English at 20%, while Mojave River Academy – Rockview Park was lowest at 12%, an 8-point spread. Mojave River Academy – Marble City led in math and science, with 6% and 13%; Mojave River Academy – Gold Canyon was lowest at 1% and 5%. Even the leaders were about 30 points below the state in English, 33 points below in math and 23 points below in science. Considered separately, Oro Grande Elementary scored 36% in English, 19% in math and 25% in science. Riverside Preparatory led the schools with scores in 2024–2025, but has no 2025–2026 scores supplied.

Across the same seven alternative schools, average English and math results fell by about 2 points and less than 1 point, respectively, from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026; science fell by less than 1 point. Because state results rose, the school-to-state gaps widened by about 2 points in English, 1 in math and 4 in science. There were exceptions: Mojave River Academy – Silver Mountain and Mojave River Academy – Route 66 improved in English, while Marble City improved in math and science. Oro Grande Elementary’s English score rose 12 points and its SchoolDigger ranking moved from the 6th to the 28th percentile. For context, the schools’ 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures ranged from 78% to 91%, and reported student–teacher ratios ranged from 21.4 to 25.1; these measures do not show a consistent pattern with test results.
