Schools in Zip Code 92394

This analysis covers 10 public schools in the 92394 zip code of Victorville, California, serving approximately 6,288 students from kindergarten through 8th grade across the Victor Elementary, Adelanto Elementary, and Victor Valley Union High districts.

Overall, most schools in this area face significant academic challenges, with test scores trailing state averages; however, Gus Franklin Junior stands out as the top performer with proficiency rates well above district averages and remarkably low chronic absenteeism at 9.5%. In contrast, Brentwood Elementary faces the steepest challenges, ranking in the bottom 1% of state schools with very low proficiency and the highest chronic absenteeism among traditional schools at 41.4%. Another middle school, Melva Davis Academy of Excellence, also performs relatively well compared to its peers.

Key issues affecting many schools include high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 8 of 10 schools exceeding the state average, and a clear pattern where schools with lower economic disadvantage indicators tend to perform better. Notably, per-student spending does not directly correlate with success, as the highest-spending traditional school, Puesta del Sol Elementary, ranks very low, while Adelanto Virtual Academy has the highest spending and absenteeism with poor outcomes. Parents should note that Dr. Ralph H. Baker 21st Century Learning Center is showing consistent improvement, moving from a 0-star to a 1-star rating.
