Summary
Bradley Elementary serves 530 students in grades K–6 in San Bernardino, as part of San Bernardino City Unified. Its results vary considerably by subject and grade: math is a relative strength, while science is weaker than district and state results. Most concerning, grade 6 proficiency is low in both English language arts and math compared with same-grade results across the district and state.
Math is Bradley’s strongest core subject relative to district peers: 31% of students met the standard, compared with 26% districtwide and 38% statewide; it ranked third among eight nearby district schools with comparable results. ELA was 36% (district 39%, state 49%), and science was 19% (district 25%, state 36%). Spanish CSA Listening stands out in the other direction: 38% met the standard, versus 21% in the district and 24% statewide, the highest result among nearby district schools reporting it. In grade 6, ELA proficiency was 26% and math was 15%—15 and 13 percentage points below district results, respectively, and about 22 points below state results in each subject.
From 2022–23 to 2025–26, Bradley’s ELA, math, and science results rose by 4, 2, and 3 percentage points, respectively, but the state’s gains outpaced its math and science improvement. Spanish CSA Listening improved by 14 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26. The school’s 2025–26 SchoolDigger ranking was at the 35th percentile (2 stars), fourth among the 10 listed schools; its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 19.6. In 2024–25, 95% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; this is context about the school community, not an explanation for test results. Chronic absenteeism was 32% in 2025–26, above the district’s 29% and the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for English Language Learner Students was notably higher than the school’s overall ranking: 89th percentile versus 43rd in 2023–24. For Special Education Students, it was 63rd percentile versus the overall 38th in 2024–25.
