Summary:
The city of Montclair, California is home to 11 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. These schools serve a diverse student population, with the majority of students identifying as Hispanic. While the schools in Montclair generally perform better than the state average on standardized tests, there is significant variation in their academic performance and overall quality.
Montclair High School stands out as the largest school in the district, with 2,769 students. It ranks 551 out of 2,335 California high schools and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school has strong test scores, with 66.35% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 31.01% proficient or better in Mathematics. However, it also has a relatively high dropout rate of 11.1% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.2%. In contrast, Buena Vista Arts-Integrated and Monte Vista Elementary stand out as high-performing elementary schools, with impressive test scores and low chronic absenteeism rates.
The data suggests that socioeconomic status plays a significant role in academic achievement, as schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing issues like chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic disparities could be key to improving overall academic performance across the Ontario-Montclair and Chaffey Joint Union High school districts.
