Summary:
The Entrepreneur High Fontana District in Fontana, California, consists of a single high school, Entrepreneur High Fontana, serving about 500 students in grades 9 through 12.
This school presents a complex picture for parents to consider. On one hand, it graduates students at a rate significantly higher than the state average, which suggests strong support systems to help students complete their requirements. On the other hand, its academic proficiency rates, especially in mathematics where only about 4% of students are proficient, are dramatically lower than state averages. This indicates that while students are earning diplomas, they may not be mastering the core academic content measured by state standards.
A major area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which at over 54% is nearly three times the state average, creating a significant barrier to consistent learning. The school also spends more per student than many California schools, yet these resources have not translated into higher test scores. For parents, the key considerations are the school's success in supporting students to graduation against the backdrop of serious academic achievement gaps and attendance challenges that need to be addressed.
