SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,740 California Alternative Schools

Better than 22% of California alternative schools

Summary

Vista Norte Public Charter is a K–12 alternative school in Rialto, California, with 667 students. Its test scores compare relatively well with nearby schools, but graduation and attendance are major concerns: in 2025–26, just 19% of students graduated, compared with 88% statewide.

Among nearby schools with 2025–26 results, Vista Norte ranked second in English, third in math and third in science, and its results were above the nearby-school average in all three subjects. Proficiency was 22% in English, 12% in math and 22% in science, versus nearby averages of 18%, 11% and 13%, respectively. Still, all three results were below state levels: science was 14 points behind California, while math was 27 points behind and English was 27.2 points behind. Science is the closest to the state; English has the widest gap. The graduation rate was also the second-lowest among seven nearby schools with results. Dropout was 35%, compared with 8% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 50%, compared with 18% statewide.

Scores have improved since 2022–23, especially in science: English rose by 3 percentage points, math by 5 and science by 13. Science and math narrowed their gaps to the state, while English’s gap stayed about the same. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 30.2, the highest among nearby schools with reported ratios; nearby schools averaged 17.5. In 2024–25, 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the nearby average of 88%.
