Summary:
The San Bruno Park Elementary district consists of five schools serving about 2,000 students from kindergarten through 8th grade in San Bruno, California, with a mix of four elementary schools and one middle school.
Academic performance varies significantly across the district. John Muir Elementary stands out as the top performer with test scores well above state averages and the district's lowest chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Belle Air Elementary faces considerable challenges, with proficiency rates far below district and state averages and the highest chronic absenteeism. Portola Elementary shows strong performance, though its statewide ranking has dipped slightly in recent years, while Allen (Decima M.) Elementary performs below the district average.
The district's single middle school, Parkside Intermediate, shows a concerning trend where student proficiency in both English and math declines from 6th to 8th grade, and it has an absenteeism rate above the state average. Overall, the district performs better than most in California, but the wide gap between its highest and lowest achieving schools indicates that successful practices from schools like John Muir could provide valuable lessons for supporting schools that are struggling.
