Locust Elementary

Locust Elementary sits in the western end of Fontana, a sprawling Inland Empire city that's grown considerably over the past few decades and offers more affordable family living than communities closer to Los Angeles. The school's math scores are an area to watch, and families who prioritize strong academic outcomes may want to look closely at how the school supports students in core subjects before enrolling. That said, Fontana has a tight-knit community feel, and for families already rooted in the area, Locust can be a familiar neighborhood option within the Fontana Unified system.
