Elementary schools are scored on their own scale — never ranked against other levels.
The elementary years
26 points separate Sage Oak Charter School- Keppel (42) from Antelope Elementary (16) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
6 elementary schools span 26 points around an average of 23.9.
Sage Oak Charter School- Keppel is the strongest option at 42/100 — 24.6% of its students exceed the state standard.
21.9% of students are chronically absent (state: 17.9%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
What it means for your family
The 26-point spread means the district average is nearly meaningless for an address decision — the zoned elementary school is the whole decision. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Pearblossom Elementary at 24/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
1 of the 6 ranked schools is a charter — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — a school's number can move without your kid's experience moving with it. Ask your school two questions: what it is doing about attendance, and what the classroom looks like for a kid who arrives ahead.
