Summary

Davidson Elementary serves 408 students in grades K–6 in San Bernardino and is part of San Bernardino City Unified. In 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranked the school 4,873rd of 5,804 California schools, at the 16th percentile with 1 star. The most important concern is that Davidson scored below its district and the state in all three reported subjects: ELA was 29%, math 19%, and science 15%.

Compared with nearby schools, Davidson is weakest in math: it ranked 10th of 11, with 19% proficient versus a nearby-school average of 25%. It ranked 8th of 11 in ELA (29% versus 32% nearby) and 8th of 10 schools with science results (15% versus 20% nearby). Its scores also trailed the district and state: ELA was 10 and 20 points lower, math 7 and 20 points lower, and science 10 and 21 points lower, respectively. Fifth-grade ELA is a notable bright spot: 43% was above the district’s 39% and second among Davidson and nearby schools with results, just behind Riley Elementary. Fourth grade is a concern: Davidson’s ELA was 20%, the lowest among nearby schools with results, and its math was 13%, also the lowest among comparable schools.

Results have improved since 2022–2023, but the progress has not been steady: ELA rose 8 points, math 4, and science 7 by 2025–2026; in the latest year, ELA fell 5 points and math 2, while science was nearly unchanged. Chronic absenteeism has declined 20 points since 2021–2022 to 28%, close to the district’s 29% but above the state’s 18%. Davidson’s student–teacher ratio is 20.4 (2024–2025), near the local average, and 95% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, also close to the nearby average. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner Students effectiveness ranking was at the 68th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 16th percentile that year. Its Special Education Students ranking then dropped from the 29th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 5th in 2025–2026, below the school’s overall 16th percentile.
