Summary

Parkside Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 485 students in the San Bernardino City Unified school district, an area where most schools face significant academic and economic challenges.

While Parkside's test scores are below state averages, it performs in the middle of the pack compared to ten nearby schools. For example, in English, it outperforms seven neighboring schools like Newmark Elementary and Del Rosa Elementary, though it trails higher performers such as Hillside Elementary. A key positive trend is a major improvement in student attendance, with chronic absenteeism dropping to 25.9%, which is now better than the district average and correlates with a recent rise in the school's statewide ranking.

The school's performance varies greatly by grade, with 4th and 6th-grade math scores being particular areas for improvement. Notably, the success of nearby Hillside Elementary, which serves a very similar student population but achieves much higher results, shows that better outcomes are possible within the same community. This suggests Parkside has opportunities to learn from and adopt effective strategies used by its higher-performing neighbors.
