Juanita Blakely Jones Elementary serves 394 students in grades K–6 in San Bernardino, California. In 2025–26, its proficiency results were below the San Bernardino City Unified district and state in English, math, and science. Science is the clearest academic concern: proficiency was 13%, compared with 25% districtwide and 36% statewide.

The school’s ELA and math results compare more favorably with nearby schools: it ranked around third among nine nearby same-district schools in both subjects, and scored above their averages of 31% in ELA and 19% in math.
