Summary

Paul Rogers Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 602 students in the Colton Joint Unified district, an area where the vast majority of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Academically, the school performs below state averages, with particular challenges in math and science, though it is a mid-performer within its own district, scoring higher than Alice Birney Elementary but lower than Ulysses Grant Elementary. A notable strength is its dramatic improvement in student attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism by more than half in three years to a rate now better than the district average. The school also shows effective support for specific groups, such as homeless students and female students, who perform better relative to their peers statewide.

Interesting comparisons emerge with nearby schools in the neighboring Rialto Unified district. For instance, Dr. Ernest Garcia Elementary, located less than half a mile away, achieves higher academic rankings despite similar student demographics and lower per-student spending. This contrast highlights how district-level factors can influence school performance. While Paul Rogers has significantly increased its funding in recent years, the academic gains have been modest, pointing to ongoing challenges in effectively translating resources into improved student outcomes across all subjects.
