Summary

Chaffey High is a large, traditional public high school serving about 3,100 students in grades 9-12 within the well-regarded Chaffey Joint Union High district in Ontario, CA.

The school has a clear strength in English Language Arts, where student proficiency exceeds both district and state averages. However, it faces significant challenges in mathematics and science, with proficiency rates in these subjects falling below state and district levels. Another major area of concern is student attendance; the chronic absenteeism rate is notably high, which is closely linked to the school's graduation rate that matches the state average but is below the district's, and a dropout rate that is higher than both state and district averages.

When compared to other high schools in the Chaffey Joint Union High district, such as Alta Loma High and Montclair High, Chaffey High's academic performance and student outcome metrics are generally lower. The school's performance is more comparable to Ontario High. It is important for parents to know that the district also includes specialized options like continuation schools for students needing a different setting and a successful Chaffey District Online High program.
