Summary

Live Oak Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 434 students in the Fontana Unified School District, operating in a community where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school's overall test scores are below state averages, it shows important strengths, particularly in how well it serves specific groups of students; for example, its Hispanic and low-income students perform significantly better compared to similar students across California than the school's overall ranking suggests. The school is on a positive upward trend, improving its statewide ranking and reducing chronic student absences over the last few years. Interestingly, Live Oak often outperforms nearby schools with very similar student demographics, such as Almond Elementary, West Randall Elementary, and Cypress Elementary, especially in English Language Arts.

There are areas for growth, as chronic absenteeism, though improving, remains higher than at some neighbors like Beech Avenue Elementary, and math scores, particularly in 6th grade, are a challenge. However, the school achieves these results with moderate per-student spending compared to some higher-spending schools in the district. Performance varies by grade, with 4th grade being a notable bright spot where students excel, indicating potential strategies that could help other grades. For families, Live Oak represents a school that is effectively supporting its students and showing consistent improvement within a challenging district-wide context.
