Summary

David W. Long Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 757 students in Fontana, California, and is part of the high-performing Etiwanda Elementary school district.

This school consistently earns strong ratings, currently ranking in the 84th percentile of all California elementary schools, with students outperforming state averages in English, Math, and Science. A particular strength is its effectiveness in supporting specific student groups, such as those in special education. The school has shown remarkable improvement in student attendance, with chronic absenteeism dropping dramatically from pandemic highs to a low 8.4%, which is better than both the district and state averages. While the school's per-student spending is typical for its district, it operates with a slightly higher student-teacher ratio than some neighboring Etiwanda schools.

Being in the Etiwanda district is a significant advantage, as all its schools, including David W. Long, substantially outperform those in the neighboring Fontana Unified and Rialto Unified districts. Within its own district, a notable comparison is John L. Golden Elementary, which ranks higher academically. However, David W. Long remains a solid choice, demonstrating strong post-pandemic recovery and a positive trajectory, making it a reliably good school within an exceptional district framework.
