Summary

Alta Loma Elementary is a public K-6 school serving 328 students in the generally high-performing Alta Loma Elementary district, though its own statewide ranking has fluctuated and currently places it as a mid-to-upper-mid performing school in California.

When compared to its five sister schools within the same district—Hermosa Elementary, Victoria Groves Elementary, Deer Canyon Elementary, Carnelian Elementary, and Jasper Elementary—Alta Loma Elementary consistently underperforms in English, math, and science, typically by 12 to 20 percentage points, and serves a student population with greater economic need. However, the school has made a dramatic recent improvement in chronic absenteeism, bringing its rate below the district average, and it significantly outperforms similar schools in neighboring districts like Central Elementary and Cucamonga Elementary, such as Bear Gulch Elementary and Cucamonga Elementary.

Notable trends include a growing performance gap where male students outperform female students, and specific academic challenges in upper-grade mathematics and science. Despite having the highest per-student spending in its immediate area, the school has not closed the achievement gap with its district peers, suggesting its increased resources are addressing significant needs. The recent success in improving attendance indicates a potential foundation for further academic growth with targeted interventions.
