Summary

Ted Porter Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 629 students in the Fontana Unified district, operating in a high-needs community where nearly 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school has specific areas of strength, particularly in mathematics, where its students outperform the district average and many nearby schools like Palmetto Elementary and North Tamarind Elementary. It also shows exceptional effectiveness in supporting English Language Learners, ranking significantly higher for this group than for its overall student body. The school receives higher per-student funding than most comparable schools in the area, which may contribute to these successes. However, challenges remain, including a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average and notably low proficiency in science.

When compared to a higher-performing school just 0.79 miles away, Dolores Huerta International Academy, Ted Porter lags in overall academic ranking and attendance, despite having more funding per student. This suggests opportunities for the school to learn from effective practices elsewhere in the district. The school's performance varies considerably for different student groups, and while it has made progress in reducing absenteeism since the pandemic, achieving consistent improvement across all subjects remains a key focus.
