Summary:
Zip code 92398 in Yermo, California, is served by two public schools within the Silver Valley Unified district: Yermo Elementary (grades K-8) and Silver Valley High (grades 9-12), together educating about 760 students in a high-needs community.
The standout school in the area is Silver Valley High, which achieves a perfect 100% graduation rate, far above the state average, and has strong English proficiency scores. In contrast, Yermo Elementary faces significant academic challenges, with test scores in English, math, and science all below state averages and a high rate of chronic student absenteeism at 24.3%.
Despite higher-than-average per-student spending at both schools, a notable performance gap exists between the elementary and high school levels. While the high school excels at ensuring students graduate, both schools report chronic absenteeism above the state average, and the elementary school's low test scores suggest students may need additional support to be fully prepared for high school. The data indicates a community where one school achieves exceptional completion results, while the other represents a key area for academic improvement within the Silver Valley Unified district.
