Summary

Summit High is a large, 9-12 public high school serving 2,725 students in the Fontana Unified School District, and it stands out as a consistently improving school that achieves exceptional graduation rates and English proficiency despite serving a community with significant economic need.

The school's greatest strength is its English Language Arts program, where 76% of students are proficient—a rate that not only leads all other Fontana Unified high schools like Fontana High and Fontana A. B. Miller High, but also rivals higher-ranked schools in neighboring districts such as Etiwanda High. Furthermore, Summit boasts a stellar 96.9% graduation rate, the best in its district, and manages student attendance more effectively than many local schools, including Los Osos High.

While Summit High excels in literacy and graduation, its math and science scores are more moderate, presenting a key area for growth. The school receives substantial funding per student, which appears to support its strong outcomes in certain areas. Compared to nearby schools, Summit is the top performer within its own district and a compelling choice for families, particularly due to its proven track record of helping students earn their diplomas and master critical reading and writing skills.
