Summary

Dr. Edward Fitzgerald Elementary is a K–5 school in Rialto, California, with 414 students, serving a community that includes nearby schools in the Rialto and Fontana areas. SchoolDigger ranked it 4,961 of 5,804 California schools in 2025–2026, at the 15th percentile with one star. The clearest concern is math: just 14% of students were proficient, 24 points below the state, making it the school’s largest subject gap.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject relative to its comparisons, but results remain behind nearby schools, the district and the state: 33% were proficient, compared with 49% statewide, 44% in Rialto Unified and a 48% average across seven nearby K–5 schools. Math was 14%, versus 25% in the district and 38% for nearby K–5 schools; Fitzgerald was below all seven nearby K–5 peers in ELA, math and science. Science proficiency was 13%, compared with 28% in the district and 36% statewide. Chronic absenteeism is a relative bright spot: the 17% rate was below the district’s 22% and slightly below the state’s 18%.

Math and science results declined in the latest year after improving, while ELA has risen overall but slipped recently. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math fell 7 points and science fell 8; ELA rose 5 points over that period, but dropped from 35% to 33% in the latest year. Fitzgerald’s SchoolDigger overall percentile also fell from 29 to 15. Its ranking for how well it serves students with low socioeconomic status fell from the 37th to the 16th percentile; for male students, it fell from the 26th to the 6th percentile. The school’s 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 78%, the second-highest among nearby schools with the same measure and year, and its student–teacher ratio was 23.8. These figures provide context, not an explanation for test results.
