Summary

Del Rosa Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 659 students in the San Bernardino City Unified district, operating in a high-need community where over 92% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science well below both district and state averages. A particularly concerning trend is the dramatic drop in math scores by 6th grade, where only 3.08% of students are proficient. Furthermore, chronic student absenteeism, while improving, remains high at 37.1%, nearly double the state average. The school operates with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending compared to many nearby schools.

When compared to other local schools, Del Rosa's performance is notably lower. For instance, nearby Fairfax Elementary and Emmerton Elementary achieve significantly higher English proficiency. The charter school iEmpire Academy, which serves a similar student population, also outperforms Del Rosa academically. However, there are signs of progress, as the school's chronic absenteeism rate has improved substantially over the last three years, and its statewide ranking saw a slight uptick in the most recent year.
