Summary:
The Alta Loma Elementary district consists of ten public schools—eight elementary (K-6) and two junior high schools (6-8)—serving over 5,500 students in a district that ranks in the top 16% statewide.
Among these schools, Floyd M. Stork Elementary stands out as the top performer, earning a 5-star rating with test scores well above district averages and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at just 3.2%. In contrast, Alta Loma Elementary is an area for improvement, with the lowest test scores and highest chronic absenteeism in the district despite having the highest per-student spending. The two middle schools, Vineyard Junior High and Alta Loma Junior High, show a typical dip in math scores compared to the elementary schools.
Overall, the district performs significantly better than California state averages in all subjects. A notable finding is that higher per-student spending does not automatically mean better results, as the highest-performing school has the lowest spending. Parents should note that science scores vary widely between schools, and attendance is strongly linked to achievement, with the best school also having the best attendance record.
