Summary

Wilmer Amina Carter High serves grades 9–12 and has 1,951 students in Rialto, in an area with nearby high schools in Rialto, Fontana and San Bernardino. Its clearest standout is graduation: in 2025–26, 98% of students graduated, compared with 88% statewide and 97% in Rialto Unified. The dropout rate was 2%, versus 8% statewide. Attendance remains a concern: chronic absenteeism was 23%, above the state’s 18% and the district’s 22%.

Science is Carter’s strongest result against nearby comprehensive high schools, while math is its clearest weakness. In 2025–26, 38% of students were proficient in science, above the state’s 36%, the district’s 28% and the nearby-school average of 32%; only Rialto High scored higher among the six nearby peers. English proficiency was 61%, above the state’s 49%, the district’s 44% and the nearby average of 60%, though Carter was near the lower end of that peer group. Math proficiency was 24%, below the state’s 38%, the district’s 25% and the nearby average of 25%.

Results have improved over the longer term but slipped in the latest year: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, English rose 14 percentage points, math 4 and science 19, yet all three subjects fell from their 2024–25 results. SchoolDigger ranked Carter in the 62nd percentile and gave it 3 stars in 2025–26, down from the 75th percentile the prior year. Its student-teacher ratio was 22.1 in 2024–25, near the middle of nearby schools; 78% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, below the nearby comparison average of 85%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Special Education Students dropped sharply, from the 81st percentile in 2024–25 to the 14th in 2025–26, indicating a much lower relative standing in how well the school serves this group. For Homeless Students, the school ranked in the 85th percentile, above its overall 62nd-percentile standing.
