School Overview

Melva Davis Academy of Excellence sits in Victorville, a sprawling high desert city in San Bernardino County where the Mojave landscape and a tight-knit community give the area a distinct character all its own. The school lands in the middle of the pack statewide, with math scores edging slightly ahead of English and science lagging a bit behind — a profile that might appeal to families looking for a solid, no-frills middle school experience while they settle into the Adelanto area. For parents who are engaged and want to supplement at home, this could be a reasonable foundation during what can be a turbulent few years for middle schoolers.
