Summary

Vermont Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 659 students in the San Bernardino City Unified district, standing out for its strong math performance and effective support for English learners within a high-needs community.

The school consistently outperforms its district and many nearby schools in mathematics, with a proficiency rate over 7 points higher than the district average, and it excels in teaching English Language Learners, ranking in the 79th percentile for that group. While chronic absenteeism is an area of focus, the rate is improving and is lower than at some comparison schools like Bob Holcomb Elementary and Kendall Elementary. Performance is particularly strong in the early grades, especially 3rd grade, though it tends to decline in upper grades, indicating a key area for growth.

When looking across district lines, Vermont outperforms similar schools in the Rialto Unified district, such as Elizabeth T. Hughbanks Elementary, but lags behind the exceptional results seen at W.J.C. Trapp Elementary. Overall, Vermont Elementary demonstrates stability and specific strengths, particularly in math and with English learners, that distinguish it within its local context.
