Schools · Historical guide
No dedicated district — split among four
The City of Industry has no single school district. Its small area is split among four districts — Hacienda La Puente Unified, Rowland Unified, Walnut Valley Unified, and Bassett Unified. Two public schools physically sit within city limits (William Workman High School and Torch Middle School), but with a residential student base near zero, a school-zone analysis is not meaningful for Industry itself.Ratings reflect the historical guide. Confirm current programs, admission rules, and the exact address with the district; city boundaries and ratings do not establish enrollment eligibility.

Honest guidance
—
Because Industry has essentially no residential student population, choosing a home based on "Industry schools" is not a real decision. The school question belongs to the surrounding cities.
