Summary

Howard Inghram Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 264 students in the San Bernardino City Unified district, operating in a high-poverty area where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 6% of all California elementary schools with proficiency rates in English, math, and science that are well below both district and state averages. A particularly urgent issue is chronic absenteeism, with over 41% of students missing too much school, a rate more than double the state average and higher than most nearby schools like Ramona-Alessandro Elementary (17.6%) and Manuel A. Salinas Creative Arts Elementary (23.5%). The school has also experienced a sharp decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years.

Despite these struggles, there are some points of context and potential. The school receives substantial per-student funding, comparable to higher-performing peers, suggesting other factors are at play. Its program for students with disabilities performs relatively better, and its historical data shows it was once a 2-star school, indicating improvement is possible. For families considering options, while Howard Inghram faces deep challenges, the nearby charter school Woodward Leadership Academy has even lower academic proficiency rates.
