Summary

Fontana High is a large, comprehensive public high school serving grades 9-12 to over 2,500 students in the Fontana Unified School District, and it stands out as a consistent academic leader within its district, showing remarkable improvement over the past decade.

The school's greatest strength is in English Language Arts, where it significantly outperforms all nearby comprehensive high schools like Henry J. Kaiser High, Fontana A. B. Miller High, and Jurupa Hills High. It is also exceptionally effective in supporting English Learner students and those from low-income backgrounds, achieving 4-star ratings in these areas. This success coincides with higher per-student spending compared to neighboring schools, and the school maintains a strong graduation rate consistently above 92%.

Areas for attention include math and science proficiency, which are below the state average, and a chronic absenteeism rate that is higher than the state average. The school also has an opportunity to strengthen support for students in special education. Despite these challenges, Fontana High's trajectory of improvement and its standout performance in key areas make it a distinctive and steadily progressing option within the local educational landscape.
