Congressman Jerry Lewis Elementary

This school is a part of Silver Valley Unified School District

Silver Valley Unified School District is a stable and operationally sound organization characterized by its robust support for military families and a high-performing terminal high school. While the district faces academic inconsistencies across its geographic sprawl—ranging from a 10/10 at Newberry Springs to significant struggles at its alternative and rural elementary sites—its financial and leadership health remains strong. Proactive security investments, successful CTE programs, and a deep integration with the Fort Irwin National Training Center offset the challenges of its remote desert setting. The district effectively balances its role as a specialized military support system with a high-quality vocational and STEM focus, making it a reliable choice despite the performance variance in its lower-tier schools.
