Summary

Riley Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 462 students in the San Bernardino City Unified district, operating in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school has clear and important strengths, particularly in mathematics and student attendance. Riley's math scores are significantly higher than the district average and are the best among all nearby elementary schools, including Hardy Brown College Prep. Furthermore, the school has made impressive progress in getting students to class, dramatically reducing chronic absenteeism to a rate that is now better than both the district and state averages, and lower than most neighboring schools like Juanita Blakely Jones Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary.

While showing positive momentum with an improving state ranking, Riley faces challenges in other subjects, with science and English language arts scores below district averages. Performance also varies among different groups of students, with historical strength in supporting English learners but a noted need for improved support in special education. Compared to other local schools such as Ramona-Alessandro Elementary and Captain Leland Norton Elementary, Riley holds a competitive position, ranking third in the area overall while leading in its specific areas of math and attendance.
