Del Rey Elementary

Del Rey Elementary sits in Victorville's high desert community, where families are drawn by the space and affordability of the Inland Empire's outer edge — but the school does face real academic challenges, ranking near the bottom of the state in English and Math. That said, there's a bright spot in science, where the school shows noticeably stronger performance, which could appeal to families with kids who thrive in hands-on, inquiry-based learning. Families considering Del Rey would do well to stay closely involved in their child's education and explore supplemental learning options, as the surrounding Victor Valley area offers a tight-knit, working-class community spirit that can be a genuine strength when the whole neighborhood rallies around its kids.
