Summit Leadership Academy-High Desert District

Summit Leadership Academy-High Desert District is an active, independent public charter district operating out of a single campus facility located at 12850 Muscatel St. in Hesperia, California. Situated in a suburban setting within the broader Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario metropolitan area, the district provides a specialized educational pathway focused exclusively on secondary education for students in grades 7 through 12. The academy maintains a close-knit school community with a total enrollment of 253 students, consisting of 153 male and 100 female scholars. Its diverse student body reflects the broader High Desert community, comprising 178 Hispanic students, 38 Black students, 22 White students, and 15 students of two or more races distributed across its middle and high school grade levels.

To support its academic programs and student development, the district maintains a robust operational and instructional team relative to its student body. The campus relies on a total workforce of approximately 71 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members, including nearly 32 FTE teachers, 2.25 instructional aides, and almost 37 support personnel. This favorable staffing context ensures low student-to-teacher proportions, allowing for individualized attention and structured guidance tailored to secondary learners.
