Summary

Shadow Hills Elementary is a K-5 public school in the Fontana Unified district, serving 364 students in a neighborhood where it sits close to several other elementary schools with a range of academic performance.

Academically, the school performs below state averages, with particular challenges in mathematics, though it shows a notable strength in science where it outperforms its district average. A striking feature is the school's dramatic and successful improvement in student attendance, with chronic absenteeism dropping from 38.6% to 17.9% in three years—a rate now better than the district, state, and many nearby schools like Live Oak Elementary and Poplar Elementary. However, performance varies significantly between student groups, with a large gap between female and male students and very low scores for students in special education.

Interestingly, Shadow Hills operates with significantly less funding per student than schools in neighboring districts like Jurupa Unified and Colton Joint Unified. Despite this, its attendance and science results are competitive. The school's performance has been unstable in recent years but appears to be recovering from a pandemic-era low, though it has not yet matched the higher rankings of nearby schools in its own district, such as Canyon Crest Elementary and Oak Park Elementary.
