Summary

Emmerton Elementary serves 434 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in San Bernardino, within San Bernardino City Unified. In 2025–26, 36% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 24% in math, and 27% in science. The school’s most important challenge is that proficiency remains below the California average in all three subjects.

Science is Emmerton’s clearest strength compared with nearby district schools: its 27% proficiency rate ranked third among 10 schools and was 2 percentage points above the district, though 9 points below the state. The science result was also 8 points above the nearby-school average. Math is the weakest subject against the state: 24% proficiency was 14 points lower, placing Emmerton fifth among the 10 schools; its result was close to the nearby average (24.1% versus 23.7%). ELA proficiency was 36%, 3 points below the district and 13 below the state, and fifth among the 10 schools. Grade-level results show a brighter spot in fifth grade: Emmerton ranked second locally in both ELA and math, with fifth-grade ELA 7 points above the district and 3 below the state. Third-grade ELA and fourth-grade math were weaker, falling 10 and 6 points below district results, respectively.

ELA proficiency has improved overall, rising 7 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, and its gap with the state narrowed by 5 points. Math rose 3 points over that period, but its state gap widened slightly; science recovered 6 points in the latest year but was still down 1 point over the four years. SchoolDigger places Emmerton at the 30th percentile, rank 4,083 of 5,804, with 1 star in 2025–26; its percentile has risen from 19 in 2023–24. Its 20.6 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 was close to the nearby average of 20.2. In 2024–25, 96% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby average of 94%. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also show a notable group result: Special Education Students were at the 70th percentile in 2025–26, 40 points above the school’s overall percentile; English Language Learner Students’ ranking fell from the 81st percentile in 2021–22 to the 11th in 2023–24.
