Summary:
This analysis covers six public schools in zip code 92377, part of the Rialto Unified district, serving students from elementary through high school in a community with high economic need.
Among these schools, Wilmer Amina Carter High stands out as a clear high performer, achieving a 95.6% graduation rate and academic proficiency well above district and state averages, despite serving a similar high-need population. At the elementary level, W.J.C. Trapp Elementary is the top performer, with strong test scores and low chronic absenteeism, while the other elementary schools and the two middle schools generally perform below state averages.
The data shows a significant performance gap, where the high school excels but the middle schools struggle, creating a preparation challenge. While the overall district ranks below average, the success of Carter High and Trapp Elementary demonstrates that effective programs can lead to strong student outcomes within this community.
