Rialto Unified reports 94% graduation rate, says 62 facility deficiencies corrected

Rialto Unified School District officials presented the district's 2026 local indicators on June 24, saying the 2024-25 annual report identified 62 facility deficiencies and that all have been corrected.

Paulina Vlos, the district's director of academic technology, told the board the indicators provide a broader view of district progress on state priority areas. She said the district found no Williams findings for instructional materials and reported a 94% graduation rate. "Our 2024-25 annual report identified 62 facility deficiencies and I am pleased to share that all have been corrected," Vlos said during the presentation.

Vlos summarized other measures: teacher feedback showed a need for practical, collaborative professional learning closely tied to classroom work; family engagement survey themes included more parent learning opportunities and clearer communication; school-climate surveys showed generally positive safety perceptions but opportunities to strengthen belonging for English learners and students with disabilities. The district's A-G completion rate rose to 55.4%, exceeding county and state averages, Vlos said.

Board members thanked staff for the report format and for correcting facility issues. One board member said the public "definitely needed this" and urged making the material more readily accessible. During follow-up, trustees asked staff to return with additional detail about how professional learning will be made more practical and how supports will be targeted to English learners and students with disabilities.

The presentation closed with a district pledge to expand academic supports and ensure access to pathways that prepare students for college, career and life. No formal action was required on the indicators report; the item was presented for information and discussion.
