Summary

West Heritage Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 611 students in Fontana, California, and is part of the high-performing Etiwanda Elementary school district.

Academically, West Heritage outperforms California state averages, with about 56% of students proficient in English and 52% in Math. However, within its own district, it scores below the average, particularly in science. The school is on a positive upward trend, recently improving from a 3-star to a 4-star state rating. It shows notable strengths in supporting English Language Learners and has seen a significant decrease in student economic need over the past few years. Challenges include a higher rate of chronic absenteeism compared to nearby district schools like Windrows Elementary and Grapeland Elementary, and a performance gap where female students outperform male students.

Being in the Etiwanda Elementary district is a major advantage. For example, West Heritage's English scores are dramatically higher than those of Almond Elementary and Redwood Elementary, which are less than two miles away but in the Fontana Unified district. Interestingly, West Heritage spends more per student than its district peers, including East Heritage Elementary just half a mile away, which achieves higher test scores with lower funding.

Open Quote I am very pleased with the services and loving staff provided to my child at this school. His two teachers Mrs. Deaver and Mrs. Bustamante truly cares about his success. They definitely reinforce the terminology "No child left behind".
Thank you, Close Quote
