Summary

Kimbark Elementary is a standout K-6 public school serving 337 students in the San Bernardino City Unified district, consistently achieving academic results that outpace both its district and the state average.

The school's performance is particularly strong, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science significantly higher than nearby schools like Kendall Elementary and Vermont Elementary. Kimbark excels in supporting all students, with those from low socioeconomic backgrounds ranking in the top tiers statewide, and it maintains a notable advantage in science, where its proficiency is nearly double the state average. This success is supported by a lower student-teacher ratio and the highest per-student spending among comparison schools, which correlates with strong student engagement and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in its district aside from Paakuma K-8.

Kimbark's trajectory shows consistent improvement, and it competes favorably with schools in neighboring districts such as Fontana Unified and Rialto Unified, often outperforming them. The school demonstrates that effective resource use and a focused educational approach can lead to exceptional outcomes, making it a high-performing choice within the local educational landscape.
