Summary

Richard Haynes Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 641 students in the Ontario-Montclair School District, operating in a high-need community where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school's overall test scores in English, math, and science are below both district and state averages, placing it in the lower half of schools statewide; this performance is typical for most elementary schools in its district, like Bon View Elementary and Mission Elementary, but notably trails higher-performing neighbors such as Liberty Elementary in the Chino Valley Unified district. However, Richard Haynes demonstrates a significant and important strength: it is particularly effective in supporting its English Language Learners and students with special needs, with performance for these groups ranking much higher than the school's overall standing.

Notable positive trends include a dramatic improvement in student attendance, with chronic absenteeism now well below the state average, which could lead to future academic gains. The school also spends less per student and has a higher student-teacher ratio than some district peers like Online Academy, which has more resources and higher scores, highlighting how support and resources can impact outcomes. For parents, the school presents a picture of a community-focused environment with proven success for vulnerable learners and improving attendance, while working to raise overall academic achievement to match its district's higher performers like Vista Grande Elementary.
