Alta Loma Elementary

The Alta Loma Elementary area has 10 schools: eight elementary schools serving K–5 (with Jasper Elementary serving K–6) and two middle schools serving grades 6–8. Across the area, school averages are above state results, but elementary outcomes vary substantially by school and grade: grade 3 math ranges from 44% at Alta Loma Elementary to 81% at Floyd M. Stork Elementary, a 36-point spread; the state result is 47%. That wide variation is the most important takeaway: school and grade matter more than the area average alone suggests.

Stork leads elementary all-grades ELA and math, with 75% and 70% proficient—about 25 and 32 points above state results. Deer Canyon Elementary leads elementary science at 58%, 22 points above the state. At the other end, Alta Loma Elementary is lowest among elementary schools in all three subjects: 54% ELA, 42% math, and 33% science. The middle schools are closer together: Vineyard Junior High leads all-grades ELA, math, and science at 70%, 49%, and 53%, while Alta Loma Junior High is within one to three points in those subjects.

From 2024–25 to 2025–26, the average school-to-state gap widened by about one point in ELA and math, but narrowed by about two points in science. Science changes were especially uneven: Stork fell 22 points, while Deer Canyon rose 13; the two-year swings make a single year’s science ranking less conclusive. SchoolDigger ranks the district 128th of 968, in the 87th percentile, and gives it four stars. For context, school-reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–25 range from 22% at Stork to 62% at Alta Loma Elementary; Banyan Elementary, at 47%, is also among the elementary leaders in ELA and math. These figures describe differences, not their causes.
