Better than 45% of California elementary schools
Summary

Vermont Elementary serves 659 students in grades K–6 in San Bernardino, among several nearby elementary schools in the area. SchoolDigger ranks it at the 45th percentile statewide with 2 stars, second-highest among the nine nearby schools with rankings supplied. The central takeaway is that its results compare well locally in English and math, but proficiency in all three core subjects remains below the state.

In 2025–2026, 44% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 31% in math, and 26% in science. ELA and math rank second among nearby schools, behind W.J.C. Trapp Elementary; science ranks fourth. ELA was 5 points above San Bernardino City Unified and 5 below the state; math was 5 points above the district and 7 below the state. Science was 1 point above the district but 10 below the state, and just below the nearby-school average. Fifth grade is a particular concern: ELA proficiency was 37% and math was 19%, respectively 12 and 18 points below state results.

Results have improved in ELA and science since 2022–2023, rising 8 and 14 percentage points, while math fell 2 points. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile rose from 37 to 45 between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, though it remains near the statewide middle. In 2024–2025, 96% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the highest comparable rate among nearby schools; the student-teacher ratio was 21.2:1, slightly below the nearby average of 22.1:1. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings also show strong relative standing for English Language Learners (79th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 39th percentile that year) and Homeless Students (86th percentile in 2025–2026, versus 45th overall). These rankings describe how well the school serves those groups, not students’ proficiency rates.
