Former schools

For more information about Desert Trails Preparatory Academy, see Parent trigger.

Desert Trails Elementary School was previously in the district. Prior to its 2013 closure it had the lowest test scores in AESD.[3] In addition almost 75% of the 6th students in Desert Trails performed below grade level in mathematics.[4] Due to a Parent Trigger Initiative under the laws of the State of California, Desert Trails Elementary was officially closed and replaced by Desert Trails Preparatory Academy, a charter school. In December 2015 AESD voted not to renew the charter of Desert Trails Preparatory.[3] In March 2016 the San Bernardino County Board of Education voted to hand authority over the charter school to the county government in a 3–2 vote, removing it from the district.[5]

Additional closed campuses include George Elementary School and Sheppard Middle School, both on the grounds of the Southern California Logistics Airport. George Visual and Performing Arts Magnet School on Bartlett Road replaces both campuses as a K–8 site, where the Sheppard Middle School site is utilized by Excelsior Charter Schools for their AME Campus.[6] The former George Elementary School site has reopened in 2017 as a mixed-use facility, starting as the AESD Professional Development Center for PD-Professional Learning Community instruction, as well as the Adelanto Virtual Academy which began operation in 2018–19.
