Summary:
This analysis covers seven high schools within the Fontana Unified School District in California, serving grades 9-12 across five comprehensive and two continuation high schools for a total enrollment of over 11,000 students.
Among the comprehensive schools, Summit High stands out as the district's top performer, with the highest English proficiency and graduation rate, while Henry J. Kaiser High shows strength in mathematics. Fontana High also performs well, showing consistent improvement. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, particularly in mathematics where all schools perform below the state average. Chronic absenteeism is a concern across the district, though graduation rates at the comprehensive schools are strong and exceed the state average.
The two continuation schools, Citrus High (Continuation) and Eric Birch High (Continuation), serve much smaller populations and face significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism and much lower per-student spending compared to the comprehensive schools. The data shows that while the district has areas needing improvement, particularly in math achievement and attendance, it also has schools with notable strengths and successful outcomes in graduating students.
