Palmetto Elementary

Palmetto Elementary sits in Fontana, a sprawling Inland Empire city that's grown rapidly over the past few decades and has a strong working-class, family-oriented character. Scores here fall below the state average across English, math, and science, so families with strong academic priorities may want to dig deeper into classroom resources and support programs before enrolling. That said, Fontana's tight-knit communities often mean schools like Palmetto benefit from parents who are deeply invested in their kids' day-to-day experience, and the area's affordable housing makes it an accessible landing spot for families putting down roots in the greater San Bernardino region.
