🌱 Building Momentum — This label means the data doesn't clearly sort the school one way or the other — ask what the school is proud of, and what it's working on.
Most rating sites would stop at “56% proficient” and call it done. Endeavour School of Exploration deserves a closer read. The school sits in Victorville, where more than half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
Endeavour School of Exploration's low-income kids hit 52.0% proficiency in ELA — a number the same group reaches at 38.2% statewide. If you're trying to read past zip-code-driven test scores, that's the signal worth weighing.
The seven-year arc
Slipped from the 88th to the 66th percentile since 2019.
This school hasn't fully recovered from the pandemic: 56% meet the standard today, versus 67% in 2019 — a gap worth asking about on a visit.
