Summary

Chaparral Academy of Technology is a public K-5 elementary school serving 205 students in the Fontana Unified district, showing a clear trend of improvement in recent years despite serving a community where a high percentage of students face economic challenges.

The school is getting better at helping students succeed, with its statewide ranking rising significantly and math scores now outperforming the district average. It has shown a particular strength in supporting English Language Learner students, who perform well above the school's overall average. Furthermore, the school has made dramatic progress in reducing chronic student absences, cutting the rate by more than half to now be better than the district average. This positive trajectory is notable when compared to some nearby schools like Shadow Hills Elementary, which has similar demographics but lower math proficiency, and Oak Park Elementary, which has higher overall scores but also a lower student poverty rate.

While Chaparral's English scores are slightly below the district average, its 5th graders perform well in English Language Arts. The school does face a challenge with 5th-grade math scores, which is an area for continued focus. Compared to schools in neighboring districts like Jurupa Unified, Chaparral performs favorably. Overall, the school demonstrates efficient use of its resources, achieving competitive results with moderate per-student spending and a good student-teacher ratio, positioning it as a solid and improving choice within the community.
