Summary

Newmark Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 392 students in the San Bernardino City Unified School District, but its academic performance places it among the lowest-ranked elementary schools in California.

The school's test scores are significantly below state averages, with fewer than 15% of students proficient in English and fewer than 10% proficient in math. Its statewide ranking has fallen sharply over the past five years. While many nearby schools also serve high-needs communities, their outcomes vary widely. For example, Hillside Elementary achieves much higher proficiency rates and ranks in the 84th percentile, demonstrating that different schools with similar student populations can produce very different results. Newmark also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate and a higher student-teacher ratio than most surrounding schools like North Park Elementary and Marshall Elementary.

Despite the overall challenges, the school shows relative strengths in supporting specific student groups, with its special education and English learner programs ranking higher than the school overall. The comparison with nearby schools suggests that school-level factors such as leadership, teaching quality, and specific programs play a crucial role, indicating that Newmark's challenges may be addressable with targeted interventions and effective use of resources.
