Poplar Elementary

Poplar Elementary sits in western Fontana, a working-class community in the Inland Empire where families tend to put down deep roots and stay connected to their schools. The campus shows relative strength in science compared to its English and math scores, which may appeal to families hoping to build early STEM interest in their kids. For parents who want to be actively involved in a neighborhood school with a tight-knit community feel, Poplar can be a solid home base — just know that supplementing academics at home or through tutoring could go a long way here.
