Summary

Bob Holcomb Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 598 students in the San Bernardino City Unified School District, an area where many schools face academic challenges.

The school is currently ranked in the bottom tier of California elementary schools, with student proficiency in English, math, and science significantly lower than both the district average and nearby schools. For example, in math, only 17% of students are proficient compared to 57% at nearby Hillside Elementary, despite both schools serving a very similar student population. This performance gap is especially pronounced in mathematics, where scores drop sharply after third grade. Furthermore, chronic student absenteeism, at 31%, is higher than the state average and remains a persistent concern.

While Bob Holcomb's academic performance has declined from several years ago, recent scores show some stabilization. The school receives substantial funding per student, comparable to other schools in the area, but outcomes lag. Notably, the struggles are not unique to Bob Holcomb; Newmark Elementary very close by also ranks very low. However, the strong performance of Hillside Elementary demonstrates that high achievement is possible within the same community and district.
