Summary:
The iEmpire Academy District consists of a single charter elementary school, iEmpire Academy, serving 418 students in grades K-5 in San Bernardino.
iEmpire Academy serves a high-needs community and has shown remarkable improvement, jumping from the 3rd to the 32nd percentile in statewide rankings over two years. While test scores in English and math remain below state averages, the school's mathematics performance is relatively closer to the state benchmark. Notably, its third graders have shown strong results, exceeding the state average in math, though performance tends to decline in the upper grades.
The school operates with very high per-student spending, but faces a significant challenge with chronic student absenteeism, which is much higher than the state average. This attendance issue is a critical area for improvement, as it directly impacts learning. For parents, the school represents a setting with substantial resources and a clear, recent trajectory of academic growth, but one that must continue to address fundamental barriers to student success.
