Summary

George Brown Junior Elementary is a K–5 school in San Bernardino City Unified, serving 733 students in San Bernardino, California. Its academic results are mixed: science stands out, while English language arts (ELA) and math remain well below state proficiency rates. The clearest takeaway is that science is the school’s strongest tested subject: 27% of students were proficient, the only one of the three subjects in which the school outperformed its district.

Science results were 2 percentage points above the district and 9 points below the state; among nearby schools with results, George Brown ranked second of nine, behind Arrowhead Elementary. ELA proficiency was 32%, compared with 39% in the district and 49% statewide; math was 23%, versus 26% and 38%. Both subjects were around the middle of the nearby group. Grade 4 is a particular concern: ELA proficiency was 23% and math was 16%, both well below district and state rates. Chronic absenteeism has also improved, but at 23% it remained above the state’s 18% rate in 2025–2026.

Science has improved substantially, rising from 10% proficient in 2022–2023 to 27% in 2025–2026, while its gap with the state narrowed by 12 percentage points. Over the same period, ELA rose by 3 points and math by 4, with little change in their state gaps. SchoolDigger placed George Brown at the 25th statewide percentile and gave it one star in 2025–2026; locally, its ranking was around the middle. The school has the largest enrollment among the nearby schools in the comparison and the highest reported student–teacher ratio, 22.1 in 2024–2025. Its reported measure was 92% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for African American students was notably higher than the school’s overall ranking in 2023–2024: the group ranked at the 61st percentile, compared with 29th overall. The Special Education Students ranking fell from the 74th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 38th in 2025–2026, though it remained above the school’s overall 25th percentile.
