Southridge Tech Middle

Nestled in the southern end of Fontana near the foothills of the Inland Empire, Southridge Tech Middle draws families who are looking for a school with a STEM-forward identity in a working-class community that takes education seriously. Math scores have room to grow, but the school's science performance sits solidly above average, making it a reasonable fit for kids who like to tinker and build. Fontana itself has a gritty, unpretentious character — it's a city on the move, and families who plant roots here tend to be practical, community-minded, and looking for schools that prepare their kids for real-world careers.
