Summary:
ZIP code 97914 contains 7 schools—4 elementary, 1 middle, 1 high, and 1 alternative—serving K–12 students in and around Ontario, with 2,668 students enrolled. Most students attend Ontario School District 8C schools (about 81.3% of enrollment), including the largest, Ontario High School (709). The smallest is Annex Charter School (131). Academic standout Annex Charter School posts all-grade ELA 48.9%, math 41.3%, and science 36.4%—all above state—plus lowest chronic absenteeism (10.9%) and FRL (48.09%). Four Rivers Community School is also strong: 5-star district rank, 100.0% graduation, and 11th-grade ELA 65.4%, though all-grade math (27.9%) is below state.
The ZIP is academically split. Annex Charter School is the only school above state in all three all-grade subjects. Four Rivers Community School also beats state in ELA (48.6%) and 11th-grade math/science, but its all-grade math is below state. Ontario School District 8C schools generally trail state, though Ontario Middle School (37.1% ELA) and Alameda Intermediate School (39.9% ELA) beat the district average. Aiken Elementary School has the lowest reported all-grade ELA at 13.8%. Math is weak across most of the ZIP: only Annex Charter School exceeds state, while Ontario High School’s all-grade and 11th-grade math are under 5%. Science is also low except at Annex Charter School; Ontario Middle School reports 14.1%, Alameda Intermediate School 19%, and Ontario High School 19.3%.
Economic need is uneven: Ontario School District 8C schools report FRL at or near 100% (100% to 101.41%), while Annex School District 29’s Annex Charter School reports 48.09% and Four Rivers Community School 76.02%. Spending ranges from $22,143 to $24,906; May Roberts Primary School has the highest spending ($24,906) and lowest student–teacher ratio (14.3) but serves K–1 with no OSAS test data. Graduation at Ontario High School is 88.8%, above state’s 83.0%, despite low proficiency, and Four Rivers Community School reports 100.0%. Chronic absenteeism is below the state’s 33.5% locally, but Ontario High School is highest locally at 26.6%. Because May Roberts Primary School has no test data, Annex Charter School’s middle-grade scores are suppressed, and Aiken Elementary School has only 3rd-grade tested results, compare grade-specific information carefully.
