Eagle Ranch Elementary, Adelanto CA

Original Research by School Decision on Eagle Ranch Elementary

Eagle Ranch Elementary serves kindergarten through fifth grade in Adelanto, a community in San Bernardino County. The school enrolls roughly five hundred students, about seven in ten of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with substantial populations of Black students and students of two or more races; other racial and ethnic groups are smaller. Data on English learners and special education enrollment was not available.

State test results from the most recent assessment show low proficiency across all tested subjects and grades. In math, students in third grade show single-digit proficiency, rising to around one in eight students in fourth grade and higher in fifth grade. English language arts results are stronger: third graders perform in the low range, but proficiency improves notably by fourth and fifth grade, where around a quarter of fourth graders and roughly three in ten fifth graders meet proficiency standards. Science proficiency in fifth grade sits around one in six students. Across all tested grades and subjects combined, the school's overall proficiency index places it in the bottom quartile relative to other districts in San Bernardino County. Only one year of assessment data is available, so trends cannot yet be assessed.

The school is part of the Adelanto Elementary School District. It operates as a regular public school, not a charter. No recent parent-relevant district initiatives, bond measures, or curriculum changes surfaced in available sources, and existing programs appear to be ongoing rather than newly launched.

The housing market in Adelanto's zip code shows median home values in the low to mid four-hundred-thousand range, with annual appreciation modest. Rental costs average in the mid-nineteen-hundred range monthly. Together, these suggest housing is roughly in line with national affordability benchmarks, though somewhat above, with rents consuming about four-fifths of what a mortgage payment would. The broader San Bernardino County economy shows unemployment near mid-range levels and median household income solid by national standards.

A parent considering Eagle Ranch should recognize that current test performance is substantially below the county average. The gap spans math more sharply than English language arts and is widest in the youngest tested grades. The school serves a high-poverty population, a reality that shapes both peer composition and the support intensity the school is likely attempting to provide. A parent may want to look into the school's specific reading, math, and intervention strategies, and how the school is responding to these proficiency levels, to understand what instruction and support looks like on the ground. Housing costs in the area are moderate by regional standards, which may matter for families weighing school choice alongside residential stability.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
