Summary

Terra Vista Elementary is a K–5 school in Rancho Cucamonga with 855 students, in the Etiwanda Elementary district. In 2025–26, students scored above California’s state results in English language arts (ELA), math and science, though below district results in all three. The clearest concern is math: the all-grades result has fallen, and fifth-grade math is a pronounced weak spot, at 47% compared with 72% in third grade.

Compared with nearby schools, Terra Vista is around the middle overall: it ranks fifth of 11 in ELA, seventh of 11 in math and sixth of the 10 schools with science results. Its ELA score of 65% is 2 points above the nearby-school average; math at 59% is virtually even with that average, while science at 44% is 3 points below. Against the district and state, Terra Vista is 4 points below the district in ELA, 2 below in math and 5 below in science, but 16, 21 and 8 points above the state, respectively. Math has the largest state advantage; science has the smallest.

Results have shifted unevenly since 2022–23: ELA fell from 68% to 65%, math from 66% to 59%, and science rose from 40% to 44%. The state’s results rose in all three subjects, narrowing Terra Vista’s lead. SchoolDigger ranks the school 1,136th of 5,804 California schools, at the 80th percentile with 4 stars; its percentile has declined 16 points since 2016–17. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 24.3, and 37% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also show notable differences: Special Education Students ranked at the 47th percentile in 2025–26, down from the 91st in 2023–24, while Multi-racial Students ranked at the 28th percentile, down from the 58th.

Open Quote Terra Vista is a wonderful school! There are so many programs that keep the kids excited about going to school. I really love that they have high academic standards and many programs centered around the arts. The kids learn about a new artist every month and they create their own art. My son is in the band program and my daughter performs in Chorus every year. They also teach kids how to persevere and never give up. The teachers really care about the kids and the office staff is always friendly. Close Quote
