Summary

Belvedere Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 557 students in Highland, CA, within the San Bernardino City Unified district, operating in a high-need community where academic performance has recently declined sharply.

While the school's overall academic ranking has dropped significantly this year, placing it in the bottom third of California schools, it shows some important strengths compared to neighbors like Oehl Elementary and Fairfax Elementary. Belvedere has been notably successful at improving student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate far lower than the district average and most nearby schools. It also outperforms most local schools in science, and has a strong historical record of effectively supporting English Language Learners.

However, current test scores in English, math, and science are below state averages, and the recent academic decline is a serious concern that the school will need to address. This pattern is part of a broader challenge, as all public schools in the immediate area, including Hunt Elementary and Lankershim Elementary, struggle with low rankings. The school's past success in specific areas suggests it has the potential to rebuild its academic performance.
