Thirty years ago this was a good school and then like the rest of Fontana's schools it started to quickly decline. They had to change the mascot from the Shamrocks to the Bulldogs because a lot of the students didn't speak English anymore. The day there always starts off late as a lot of the parents arrive late with their children. Classes are disrupted constantly by children that have no manners and no wish to learn. Teachers are no longer allowed to discipline students so if they are not raised right this is what happens. Maybe that's why they are Bulldogs now and not Shamrocks.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

The test results by subgroup show how the designated group of students is performing in comparison to the general population.

The API reflects year-over-year schools performance based on STAR test score results from spring 2012.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
