Summary:
Zip code 93501 has one high-school listing: Mojave Junior/Senior High, which serves grades 6–12 and had 400 students and a 20:1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025. With only one school listed, there is no meaningful school-to-school comparison. The most important finding for families is that the school’s 2025–2026 proficiency rates were well below California’s in all three reported subjects.
Mojave Junior/Senior High is the area’s only school, rather than a meaningful top or bottom performer among local schools. In 2025–2026, 13% of its students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared with 49% statewide; in math, the figures were 6% and 38%, and in science, 8% and 36%. The state gap was largest in English Language Arts, at 36 percentage points, and smallest in science, at 28 points. The school was also below Mojave Unified in all three subjects, by 10 points in English Language Arts, 5 in math, and 6 in science. Graduation was 85%, compared with 88% statewide, while the dropout rate was 12%, versus 8% statewide.
Results improved year over year in each subject, but the school did not close every gap with the state: math proficiency rose by 3 percentage points and English Language Arts by 1, while science rose by less than 1 point as the state’s science rate climbed by 3 points. Eighth grade offered a relative bright spot against the district: Mojave was 2 points higher in math and 3 points higher in science, though its eighth-grade results remained well below state rates. SchoolDigger’s rank-history percentile increased from 16 in 2023–2024 to 24 in 2025–2026. As context, 85% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; this is an observation, not an explanation for results.
