Summary

Dorothy Grant Innovations Academy is a public K-5 elementary school serving 682 students in Fontana, California, that consistently achieves above-average academic results despite being part of a lower-performing district and serving a community with significant economic need.

The school stands out for its strong academic performance, significantly exceeding both Fontana Unified and state averages in English, math, and science. This is particularly notable when compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Juniper Elementary and Mango Elementary, which have much lower proficiency rates. Dorothy Grant has also made impressive strides in reducing chronic student absenteeism, now boasting a better rate than both the district and state averages. The school's results are comparable to those in the higher-performing Etiwanda Elementary district, with schools like Cecilia Lucero Solorio Elementary located less than a mile away.

While performing well overall, the school sees a noticeable dip in 4th-grade scores before a recovery in 5th grade, and its effectiveness with English Language Learners has varied year-to-year. It maintains a stable, above-average ranking over the long term and benefits from higher per-student spending than most other Fontana Unified schools, such as Tokay Elementary. As an "Innovations Academy," its model appears to be a relative success story within its community.

We have a new principal Mrs.Cabrales and she is amazing. She is there for the kids and she listens to parents concerns/suggestions. She is an outstanding role model to all of the students at our school. My kids teachers have been great and they really push my children to try their best and they motivate them. Close Quote
