Best High Schools in Zip Code 92337

This analysis examines four high schools serving grades 9-12 in zip code 92337, part of Fontana, California, revealing significant differences in performance and resources among Options for Youth-Acton, Jurupa Hills High, Henry J. Kaiser High, and Citrus High (Continuation).

Henry J. Kaiser High stands out as the top performer, with the highest graduation rate (97.4%), lowest dropout rate, and strongest test scores in English and math. Jurupa Hills High also performs respectably. In contrast, Citrus High (Continuation), which serves students needing an alternative setting, faces considerable challenges with the lowest academic proficiency and graduation rates. Options for Youth-Acton, an alternative charter school with a unique model serving grades 7-12, has shown recent improvement in its statewide ranking.

Key issues across the area include high chronic absenteeism, with all schools exceeding the state average, and widespread challenges in mathematics achievement. There is also a notable performance gap within the Fontana Unified district between its comprehensive and continuation high schools. The analysis suggests that higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios, as seen at Kaiser High, may contribute to stronger outcomes, while schools serving the most at-risk populations often operate with fewer resources.
