Summary

Highland Pacific Elementary serves 285 students in grades K–6 in Highland, within San Bernardino City Unified; it has the smallest enrollment among the nearby schools in this comparison. Its recent results are mixed but improving: in 2025–2026, it outscored its district in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, and was above the state in science. The clearest headline is that it led nearby schools in both ELA and science.

Science is its strongest subject across comparison groups: proficiency was 36.4%, just above the state’s 36.0% and 12 points above the district; it also topped nearby schools, including Cole Elementary, the next-highest in science at 27%. ELA proficiency was 41%, highest among the nine nearby schools with current results and 8 points above their average, though 9 points below the state. Math was 30%—third among those nearby schools and 6 points above their average—but remained 8 points below the state. Grade-level results reveal a sharp weakness: fourth-grade math was 12%, the lowest among Highland Pacific and the nine nearby schools, while fifth- and sixth-grade math were much stronger at 39% and 42%.

Scores have risen since 2022–2023: ELA increased 26 percentage points, math 19 points, and science 33 points. The largest gains came in the latest year, so they do not yet establish a continuing trend. SchoolDigger rated the school at the 45th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, the highest percentile among nearby schools, after ratings near the bottom statewide in the two prior years; the district was at the 25th percentile with 1 star. Highland Pacific’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 18.3, the lowest among the supplied nearby schools. In that same year, 90% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible. Chronic absenteeism has fallen to 32%, but remained above the district’s 29% and state’s 18% in 2025–2026.
