Summary

Shadow Hills Elementary is a K–5 school with 364 students in Fontana, part of the Fontana Unified area. Its results are mixed: math is stronger than the district’s, while ELA and science lag. The clearest concern is ELA, where 33% of students were proficient—below both the district and state.

Math is the school’s strongest subject compared with its district, but not with the closest K–5 peers. Overall math proficiency was 30%, above Fontana Unified at 27% but below California at 38%; nearby Canyon Crest and Oak Park scored 42% and 39%. Third-grade math stands out at 48%, higher than the state, district and all three nearby K–5 peers. Fourth grade is a trouble spot: ELA proficiency was 27%, below all three peers, and math was 25%, compared with 42% statewide. Science proficiency was 21%, below the district’s 25% and the state’s 36%, and behind Canyon Crest, Oak Park and Chaparral Academy of Technology.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, math proficiency rose from 22% to 30% and its gap with the state narrowed from 13 points to 8; ELA fell from 35% to 33%, and its state gap widened from 11 to 17 points. Science rose from 16% to 21%, while its state gap remained about 15 points. Attendance improved: chronic absenteeism fell 23 points to 16% in 2025–26, below the state’s 18% and district’s 20%. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 30th percentile statewide (1 star) in 2025–26. Its student-teacher ratio was 20.4 in 2024–25, near the nearby-school average of 20.9; 85% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch that year, compared with 82% across nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings differed: Female Students ranked at the 51st percentile, above the school overall, while Special Education Students ranked at the 2nd percentile in both 2024–25 and 2025–26.
