High Schools in Rialto Unified

This analysis covers five high schools within the Rialto Unified School District for the 2024-2025 school year, serving grades 9-12 in a community where the majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The three traditional comprehensive high schools—Rialto High, Eisenhower High, and Wilmer Amina Carter High—are the core of the district, educating 96% of its high school students and showing strong, improving performance. Wilmer Amina Carter High stands out with the highest overall state ranking and strongest scores in math and science, while Eisenhower High has shown remarkable improvement and boasts the district's highest graduation and English proficiency rates. All three comprehensive schools graduate students at rates well above the state average.

The district also includes alternative options: Zupanic Virtual Academy and Dr. John H. Milor High Continuation. The virtual academy serves a small population with middling academic results but very high chronic absenteeism. Dr. John H. Milor High Continuation, which serves a vulnerable population, faces significant challenges, with the district's lowest academic proficiency and highest absenteeism and dropout rates, despite having more resources per student. District-wide, chronic absenteeism is a concern, and while English performance is solid, math scores lag behind state averages.
