Summary

Canyon Crest Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 420 students in the Fontana Unified School District, and it stands out as a school on a strong and steady upward trajectory, significantly outperforming many of its neighbors.

The school has shown remarkable improvement, jumping to a 3-star rating this year and consistently beating district averages in both English and Math. What's particularly impressive is how well it supports its students, achieving 4-star ratings specifically for economically disadvantaged and Hispanic student groups, which is higher than the school's overall ranking. Furthermore, the school has made incredible strides in improving attendance, slashing chronic absenteeism from 46% to under 16% in just three years, a recovery that outpaces both the state and most nearby schools like Shadow Hills Elementary and Poplar Elementary.

While Canyon Crest excels in many areas, there are opportunities for growth, such as addressing a noticeable drop in math scores in the 5th grade. Compared to other local schools in districts like Jurupa Unified and Colton Joint Unified, it delivers strong academic results even with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending, making it a cost-effective and successful choice for families in the community.
