Urbita Elementary

5504^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 5% of California elementary schools

Summary

Urbita Elementary serves 390 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in San Bernardino, within San Bernardino City Unified. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 21% in English Language Arts (ELA), 15% in math and 4% in science, below district and state results in all three subjects. The clearest concern is that Urbita had the lowest ELA and science results among nearby K–6 schools and the second-lowest math result.

Math is Urbita’s strongest subject by comparison, although its results remain low: its 15% proficiency was 11 percentage points below the district and 23 points below the state, and about 4 points below the nearby-school average. ELA was 18 points below the district and 28 below the state; Urbita’s 21% was 9 points below the nearby average. Science is the weakest result: Urbita’s 4% was 21 points below the district, 32 below the state and 12 below the nearby average. Within the school, sixth-grade ELA was strongest, while fifth-grade ELA and science and fourth-grade math stood out as particular concerns. Sixth-grade Spanish assessment results were a bright spot: 12% proficiency, compared with 3% for the district and 6% for the state.

Results have been uneven over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose by 6 percentage points, math fell by 1 point and science fell by 7 points; science also dropped sharply after a 2024–2025 improvement. SchoolDigger placed Urbita at the 5th percentile with 0 stars in 2025–2026, down 25 percentile points from 2021–2022; it tied with a nearby school for the lowest standing. One notable exception is the older English Language Learner ranking: SchoolDigger placed that group at the 48th percentile in 2023–2024, versus the school’s overall 5th percentile that year; no later group ranking is supplied. Context for families: the student-teacher ratio was 19.5 in 2024–2025, below the nearby average of 21, and 92% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism improved to 26% in 2025–2026, below the nearby average of 27% but above the state’s 18%.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Saturday, August 12, 2017

Urbita has a small, caring environment with top-notch staff. Every teacher on campus is positive, hard-working and very good at what they do. They put in extra time and effort and genuinely care for students. Many of the teachers enroll their own children at Urbita for the positive culture and challenging academics. It is a great place to work and a great place for students to learn. Close Quote
