Summary

Bing Wong Elementary is a public K-6 school serving 581 students in the San Bernardino City Unified district, operating in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science consistently below both district and state averages, resulting in a statewide ranking in the bottom 15% of elementary schools. Chronic absenteeism, while improving, remains high at 34%. However, the analysis reveals some important strengths: the school shows notably better outcomes for homeless students, ranking above average statewide for that subgroup, and has demonstrated recent improvement in supporting African American students. It also shows relative strength in Spanish Language Arts, suggesting effective support for Spanish-speaking students.

Notably, there is substantial variation in performance among nearby schools serving similar communities. For example, Savant Preparatory Academy of Business, a charter school less than a mile away, achieves proficiency rates nearly three times higher than Bing Wong's despite lower per-student spending. Within the same district, schools like Bradley Elementary and Fairfax Elementary achieve significantly better academic results with comparable student populations, while Monterey Elementary ranks even lower. This indicates that different educational approaches can yield different results in the same area.
