Summary

Hardy Brown College Prep is a K-8 public school serving 316 students in San Bernardino, California, that has shown significant recent improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star state rating in the latest year.

The school is on a positive trajectory, demonstrating particular strength in educating African American students, where it ranks in the state's 81st percentile, and shows solid results for Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students. While its overall test scores in English and math are below the state average, they are notably higher than most traditional neighborhood schools in the San Bernardino City Unified district, such as Lincoln Elementary. A key challenge is a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, though this is common in the area.

Compared to a higher-performing local charter, Savant Preparatory Academy of Business, Hardy Brown spends more per student and has smaller classes but serves a population with greater economic need. The school's performance is uneven across grades, with a major drop in 7th-grade math being a critical area for improvement, while its science scores are on par with the state average.
