School Accountability Report Card

Lone Hill Middle School serves students in grades 6 – 8 and is the only middle school in the city of San Dimas. The Lone Hill staff and faculty is committed to the philosophy that all students will achieve at their maximum level through high expectations and a rigorous curriculum within a safe learning environment. We are dedicated to working as a team to help each student attain their full academic, emotional, and social potential on their path to becoming lifelong learners. Working in collaboration with the school, parents and community members, we will make every resource available to ensure that our students are successful.

State standards, state frameworks and state-adopted texts are used to provide a strong, standards based instructional program. Supplementary resources, including assemblies, field trips and staff development assist teachers in maximizing the potential of each of our students in providing a research based instructional program.

Lone Hill Middle School operates on a traditional 184-day school year calendar, from August to June. Students take 6 classes per day, 50 minutes in length, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. During these four days, our students participate in a 24 minute intervention period where they are assigned to classes in which they are struggling, so that we are able to provide students additional assistance in the classes where they need additional help. Each Wednesday, we have a compact day in which teachers participate in learning teams to collaborate on instructional pedagogies. The school schedules one minimum day each for parent conferencing, Back to School, Open House and several days of reduced class time for various assemblies, such as Renaissance Rally, ASB activities, and educational assemblies. The District staffs Lone Hill Middle School on a 31 to 1 ratio based on a six period day. The contract with the Bonita Unified Teachers Association also has a clause limiting each teacher, with the exception of physical education, band and choir teachers, to a maximum of 170 students per day.
