Rialto Unified

The Rialto Unified School District in California serves 29 schools, including 19 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals significant variation in school performance within the district, with a few standout schools leading the way in academic achievement and graduation rates.

Wilmer Amina Carter High and Eisenhower High are the top-performing high schools, with the highest statewide rankings, ratings, graduation rates (96.9% and 92.0% respectively), and lowest dropout rates. At the elementary level, Samuel W. Simpson Elementary stands out with the highest performance across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science assessments, as well as the highest percentage of students proficient or better in these subjects.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the top-performing and lower-performing schools, both at the elementary and secondary levels. Schools with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower academic performance, suggesting the need to address factors contributing to these achievement gaps. Additionally, alternative and continuation schools face significant challenges, with low test scores, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support in these areas.
