Summary

Sierra Lakes Elementary is a large public K-5 school serving 902 students in the Fontana Unified district, currently rated in the 42nd percentile statewide and showing notable strengths in mathematics compared to its district peers.

When compared to nearby schools, Sierra Lakes stands out for its math performance, with 32.7% of students proficient compared to the district average of about 26%, and it outperforms other Fontana Unified schools like Juniper Elementary and Mango Elementary. However, it trails significantly behind higher-performing schools in the neighboring Etiwanda Elementary district, such as Falcon Ridge Elementary. The school has made impressive progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism, bringing it down to 21.7% from a pandemic-era high of over 35%.

An important trend for parents to note is a significant drop in math proficiency in 5th grade, a pattern also seen in other Fontana schools, suggesting a potential district-wide challenge at that grade level. The school receives more funding per student than most others in its district, which may support ongoing improvements. While its academic ranking has fluctuated over the past decade, its recent progress on attendance and relative math strength within the district are positive signs for the school community.
