Summary

Kendall Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 351 students in the San Bernardino City Unified school district, operating in a high-need community where a large majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Kendall is a school on the rise, having recently improved its statewide ranking and moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating. Its performance in English Language Arts is above the district average, which is a positive sign. However, the school faces significant challenges, most notably with chronic absenteeism, where its rate is the highest among nearby schools and far exceeds state and district averages. Mathematics is also an area needing improvement, as proficiency lags behind both the district and the state.

When compared to other local schools like Palm Avenue Elementary and Hillside Elementary, Kendall's academic results are generally lower, though it has a more favorable student-teacher ratio than some peers. The data shows the school serves homeless students exceptionally well, but it struggles to support special education students and English learners effectively. The recent improvement suggests the school is implementing strategies that are beginning to work, with a focus needed on improving attendance, math instruction, and support for specific student groups to continue this positive trajectory.
