Adelanto High — Rating & test scores

Q: Is Adelanto High a good high school?

Adelanto High is in the 20th percentile (Needs Support) of California’s regular public and charter high schools. Its Scope Score is 46 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In 2024–25, 91% of the class graduated in four years (495 of 542); across California, 89%. The 2025 Scope Score combines 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate, exceeded standard, college/career readiness, met or exceeded the standard, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate (ACGR), 2024–25, analyzed by SchoolScope.

Q: What are Adelanto High's CAASPP test scores?

In spring 2026, 54% of students tested in grade 11 met or exceeded the English standard and 11% the math standard; 22% and 3% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 57% and 32% met or exceeded, 27% and 16% exceeded. 469 students were tested in English and 471 in math (CDE CAASPP 2025–26; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).

Q: How does Adelanto High rank in California?

See full methodology.

Q: What do attendance and suspension records show for Adelanto High?

CDE chronic absence 2025–26: 23.2% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 562 chronically absent of 2,427 eligible students. CDE suspension 2025–26: 4.3%; 111 unduplicated suspended students of 2,552 cumulative enrollment. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.

Q: How does Adelanto High compare to other schools in Adelanto?

Adelanto High is in the 20th percentile (Needs Support) of California’s regular public and charter high schools.

The school serves 2,247 students. Use the schools in Adelanto page or the map view to compare nearby high schools.

Q: What do reported student-group results show at Adelanto High?

At Adelanto High in Adelanto, 54% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) in grade 11 scored Proficient or Advanced (formerly Met or Exceeded) in reading and writing in spring 2026, compared with 50% across the district and 49% across California for the same group in the same grades. That is 4 points above the district rate for the same group. Also: low-income students, 11% in math; Hispanic students, 54% in reading and writing. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP, spring 2026. 426 low-income students tested in reading and writing. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.

Q: What AP courses are offered at Adelanto High?

Adelanto High had own-school AP authorizations for 10 of the 40 subjects in the College Board's 2025–26 AP program: 2-D Art and Design, 3-D Art and Design, Biology, Calculus AB, English Language and Composition, Macroeconomics, Spanish Language and Culture, Statistics, U.S. Government and Politics, World History: Modern. The audit records authorization, not whether a section ran that year or how students performed on AP exams. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.

Q: How many students from Adelanto High go to UC?

In fall 2025, 28 Adelanto High graduates enrolled at University of California campuses, universitywide. That figure can't be split into a per-campus sum — students apply to several UC campuses at once, so campus-level counts don't add up to the universitywide total. UC is one destination among many: this says nothing about graduates who chose a CSU, a private college, a community college, or work, and it is a count, not a rate or a ranking. Data source: University of California Office of the President (UC Information Center), fall 2025 admissions cycle.

Common questions

Is Adelanto High a good high school?

Adelanto High is in the 20th percentile (Needs Support) of California’s regular public and charter high schools. Its Scope Score is 46 of 100: it places the school among them; it isn’t a grade. In 2024–25, 91% of the class graduated in four years (495 of 542); across California, 89%. The 2025 Scope Score combines 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate, exceeded standard, college/career readiness, met or exceeded the standard, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See the current formula and weights. Data source: California Department of Education four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate (ACGR), 2024–25, analyzed by SchoolScope.

What are Adelanto High's CAASPP test scores?

In spring 2026, 54% of students tested in grade 11 met or exceeded the English standard and 11% the math standard; 22% and 3% exceeded it. For the same grades, California's rate was 57% and 32% met or exceeded, 27% and 16% exceeded. 469 students were tested in English and 471 in math (CDE CAASPP 2025–26; California's rate combines CDE's statewide grade rows, weighted by students tested, our calculation).

How does Adelanto High rank in California?

Adelanto High is in the 20th percentile of 1,500 California comprehensive high schools (Needs Support, 2025). Adelanto High ranks #1,197 by Scope Score in that comparison pool. The 2025 Scope Score combines 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate, exceeded standard, college/career readiness, met or exceeded the standard, chronic absenteeism, suspension rate, and ELPAC English Learner proficiency. See full methodology.

What do attendance and suspension records show for Adelanto High?

CDE chronic absence 2025–26: 23.2% of eligible students missed 10% or more of the days they were expected to attend; 562 chronically absent of 2,427 eligible students. CDE suspension 2025–26: 4.3%; 111 unduplicated suspended students of 2,552 cumulative enrollment. These figures cannot establish safety or everyday experience. How the Scope Score is built.

How does Adelanto High compare to other schools in Adelanto?

Adelanto High is in the 20th percentile (Needs Support) of California’s regular public and charter high schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same measures side by side: the share of students who met or exceeded the standard, the share who exceeded it, growth, chronic absence and suspensions. The school serves 2,247 students. Use the schools in Adelanto page or the map view to compare nearby high schools.

What do reported student-group results show at Adelanto High?

At Adelanto High in Adelanto, 54% of low-income students (CDE’s “socioeconomically disadvantaged” group) in grade 11 scored Proficient or Advanced (formerly Met or Exceeded) in reading and writing in spring 2026, compared with 50% across the district and 49% across California for the same group in the same grades. That is 4 points above the district rate for the same group. Also: low-income students, 11% in math; Hispanic students, 54% in reading and writing. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP, spring 2026. 426 low-income students tested in reading and writing. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.

What AP courses are offered at Adelanto High?

Adelanto High had own-school AP authorizations for 10 of the 40 subjects in the College Board's 2025–26 AP program: 2-D Art and Design, 3-D Art and Design, Biology, Calculus AB, English Language and Composition, Macroeconomics, Spanish Language and Culture, Statistics, U.S. Government and Politics, World History: Modern. The audit records authorization, not whether a section ran that year or how students performed on AP exams. Data source: College Board AP Course Audit, analyzed by SchoolScope.

How many students from Adelanto High go to UC?

In fall 2025, 28 Adelanto High graduates enrolled at University of California campuses, universitywide. That figure can't be split into a per-campus sum — students apply to several UC campuses at once, so campus-level counts don't add up to the universitywide total. UC is one destination among many: this says nothing about graduates who chose a CSU, a private college, a community college, or work, and it is a count, not a rate or a ranking.

That cohort includes all students in the current four-year graduation cohort plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort. In 2025 the pathway accepts two qualifying AP exams, two qualifying AP courses, or a combination of one of each in different subjects.

CDE's overall Prepared rate is this version's 20% high-school college-readiness score factor. The school rate is 238 of 542 CCI students, not the AP-only pathway or A–G completion rate. The California figure is CDE's statewide CCI student cohort, not an average of SchoolScope's comparable high schools or the SchoolScope school-rank pool.

Each year names its school year end (2026 = 2025–26). “Students with scores” is the subject-specific rate denominator; ELA and Math counts must not be added. The 2015–2018 rows were checked against CDE’s original research files. The 2015 and 2016 files report whole percentages; later rows round to one decimal here. Older stored rows from other years still need independent original-file re-verification. A dash is unavailable, not zero.

How the California mean was selected

SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.

SchoolScope groups district-level CDE SACS UserGL actuals from Fund 01, using operating objects 1000–5999 and excluding retiree benefits, food and community services, facilities acquisition, other outgo, and nonagency goals. These shares use that filtered total; they do not exactly break down CDE's official current expense per ADA above. The school-level ESSA figure uses a separate source.
