Dr. Mildred Dalton Henry Elementary

Public Grades 4-6
Summary

Dr. Mildred Dalton Henry Elementary is a 4th-6th grade middle school serving 338 students in the San Bernardino City Unified district, a high-need area where the school stands out for its relative academic strengths and improving student attendance.

Compared to many similar middle schools in its own district, such as Del Vallejo Middle and Shandin Hills Middle, Henry Elementary consistently posts higher proficiency rates in English, math, and especially science. The school has also made significant progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, now boasting a better attendance rate than district peers like Golden Valley Middle and Curtis Middle. It's important to note that a standout performer in the area is Richardson PREP High Middle, a magnet school with much higher scores, but Henry outperforms most other local comprehensive schools.

The school shows a particular strength in 5th-grade English, but data reveals a concerning drop in performance for 6th graders, especially in math. This suggests a potential challenge in preparing students for their next step. Despite having a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than some district schools, Henry's results indicate that effective use of resources and focused programs can lead to better outcomes for students in this community.
