Summary

Wilmer Amina Carter High is a large public high school serving grades 9-12 to nearly 2,000 students in the Rialto Unified district, and it stands out for its remarkable and rapid academic improvement over the past two years.

The school's story is one of impressive growth, having jumped from a 2-star to a 4-star rating and now ranking in the top 25% of all California high schools. It excels in English Language Arts and Science, with proficiency rates well above both the district and state averages, and it achieves a stellar 95.6% graduation rate. This success is particularly notable because the school serves many students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and does so with moderate per-student spending compared to higher-spending schools like Summit High or Fontana A. B. Miller High. The school also shows exceptional effectiveness in supporting vulnerable student groups, dramatically outperforming nearby continuation schools such as Dr. John H. Milor High Continuation and Eric Birch High (Continuation).

While mathematics proficiency remains an area for growth, and chronic absenteeism is higher than ideal, the overall trajectory at Carter High is powerfully positive. It has become a standout performer within its district and a compelling example of how a comprehensive high school can achieve excellent outcomes for all students, making it a school on the rise that other communities might look to as a model.
