Summary

Monterey Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 372 students in the San Bernardino City Unified district, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in California.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with only about 20% of students proficient in English and 10% in math, which is far below both district and state averages. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, with nearly 40% of students missing too much school, a rate that is more than double the state average and higher than most nearby schools like E. Neal Roberts Elementary and Roger Anton Elementary. While the school receives funding comparable to others in the area, its academic performance has declined over the past decade, now placing it in the bottom 5% of all state schools.

Interesting comparisons show that Savant Preparatory Academy of Business, a charter school located just a short distance away, achieves proficiency rates more than triple those of Monterey in math, despite serving a similarly economically disadvantaged student population. This contrast, along with the better performance of other district schools such as Captain Leland Norton Elementary, suggests that factors beyond demographics and funding are influencing outcomes at Monterey Elementary.
