Summary

Lehigh Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 477 students in the Ontario-Montclair School District, operating in a high-need community where over 93% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with test scores in English, math, and science consistently below both district and state averages; for example, only about 28% of students are proficient in math, which is lower than nearby schools like Monte Vista Elementary (55%) and Montera Elementary (47%). However, Lehigh has shown a major, positive improvement in student attendance, reducing chronic absenteeism from 17.4% to 8.3% in recent years—a rate now better than the district and state.

Despite having one of the highest per-student spending levels in the area, academic results have not yet caught up, though the school demonstrates notable strengths in supporting specific groups, ranking well above average for English Language Learners and students experiencing homelessness. When compared across district lines, Lehigh outperforms some schools in Pomona Unified like Kingsley Elementary but lags behind higher-performing schools in Claremont Unified such as Oakmont Elementary.
