Summary:
Four high schools in zip code 92376, part of the Rialto Unified district, serve grades 9-12 in the Rialto, CA area, with all schools serving a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students but showing varied academic results.
Among traditional schools, Eisenhower High stands out as the top performer with the highest graduation rate (96.4%), strongest English proficiency, and best state ranking, while Rialto High is notable for its significant and steady improvement in rankings over recent years and the lowest chronic absenteeism. Both comprehensive high schools achieve graduation rates well above the state average, though they, along with all schools in the area, share a common challenge of very low math proficiency. The district also offers specialized options: Dr. John H. Milor High Continuation serves at-risk students with a very small class size, and Zupanic Virtual Academy provides an online learning alternative.
Key takeaways for parents include that the two main high schools successfully support high graduation rates despite economic challenges, but math achievement is a district-wide area for growth. The continuation and virtual schools serve specific student needs but have very different performance profiles, with the continuation school receiving the highest funding per student. The overall district ranking is in the lower third statewide, but the improving trajectory at Rialto High and consistent strength at Eisenhower High are positive indicators within the community.
