Summary

Levi H. Dickey Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 413 students in Ontario, California, within the Chino Valley Unified school district, and has shown significant academic improvement in recent years.

The school is on a strong upward trajectory, having moved from a 1-star to a 3-star rating and improving its statewide ranking from the 18th to the 50th percentile since 2019. While its test scores in English and Math are close to the state average, they are below the high-performing Chino Valley Unified district average, with science being a notable area for growth. A major success story is attendance; the school dramatically reduced chronic absenteeism from 35% to 12.7% in just three years, now performing better than both the district and state. It shows particular effectiveness in supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Compared to nearby schools, Levi H. Dickey occupies a middle position. It performs below higher-achieving district schools like Edwin Rhodes Elementary but above others like Howard Cattle Elementary. Interestingly, the very close Liberty Elementary has higher test scores but a similar attendance rate and spending level. The school achieves these results with a higher student-teacher ratio than many peers, suggesting efficient use of its mid-range per-student funding.
