Phelan Elementary

Phelan is a small, rural high-desert community nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, where wide-open spaces and a tight-knit, working-class feel define everyday life. Phelan Elementary serves families who've chosen this quieter, more affordable corner of San Bernardino County, often drawn by the land and the slower pace compared to the congested cities below. Families considering the school should know that test scores currently rank in the lower tier statewide, so those prioritizing academics may want to explore additional support options or look closely at what the school offers beyond the numbers.
