School Overview

Sitting Bull Academy serves K-8 students in Apple Valley, a high desert community in San Bernardino County where the pace is slower and the open space is plentiful — a draw for families looking to escape the density of the greater LA area. The school's scores are modest, sitting in the lower-middle range statewide, with math being the area most in need of growth, though science shows a bit more promise. Families already rooted in the Apple Valley community who value the K-8 continuity and a neighborhood school feel may find it a comfortable fit, particularly if they're actively engaged in supplementing learning at home.
