Sam V. Curtis Elementary

Rialto is a working-class Inland Empire city where families are deeply community-rooted, and Sam V. Curtis Elementary reflects that spirit — it's a neighborhood school serving a tight-knit corner of San Bernardino County where many kids walk to class and parents know the teachers by name. Academics are a work in progress, with science scores in particular leaving room for growth, so families who want to stay engaged and supplement at home will get the most out of what Curtis has to offer. It's a good fit for families planting roots in Rialto who value a local, familiar school environment and are ready to be active partners in their child's education.
