Summary

Parkside Elementary serves 485 students in grades K–6 in San Bernardino, California. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were below the averages of nearby schools, the district and the state in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The most important finding is that the school’s academic shortfalls span all three subjects, rather than being limited to one area.

Compared with nearby schools, math is the weakest relative result: 18% of Parkside students were proficient, 8 percentage points below the nearby average of 26%. ELA proficiency was 29%, 8 points below the nearby average of 37%, and science was 16%, 7 points below the average of 23%; science is Parkside’s closest result to the local average. The gaps extend to the San Bernardino City Unified district and California: Parkside was about 8–10 points below the district and 20 points below the state in each subject. Results also vary by grade. Third-grade ELA proficiency was 14% and math was 16%, the lowest among the nearby schools in both subjects. Fourth grade was a counterpoint: ELA reached 39%, 4 points above the district, and math reached 29%, 3 points above the district, though both remained below state rates.

Scores have improved over the longer term: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, proficiency rose about 8 percentage points in each subject. However, ELA fell 4 points in the latest year, while math was nearly unchanged. Chronic absenteeism also dropped substantially, from 46% in 2021–22 to 23% in 2025–26, below the district’s 29% but above the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger placed Parkside at the 17th statewide percentile with 1 star in 2025–26; eight of the ten nearby schools ranked higher. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 20.6, close to the nearby average of 20.8. Parkside reported 89% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, compared with a nearby-school average of 92%—context, not an explanation for results. One historical SchoolDigger subgroup result stands out: in 2023–24, its measure of how well the school served English Language Learner Students was at the 29th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 5th percentile.
