Summary

Graciano Gomez Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 481 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 well below both state and district averages, placing it in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools. However, a detailed look reveals some important strengths: the school has shown exceptional effectiveness in supporting its most vulnerable students, ranking in the 91st percentile for homeless students and historically performing very well with English Language Learners. It has also made the most dramatic improvement in chronic absenteeism in the area, cutting the rate by over 16 percentage points since 2022.

When compared to nearby schools, performance varies widely even within the same district. For instance, Ramona-Alessandro Elementary, less than a mile away, performs significantly higher academically, while Mt. Vernon Elementary performs lower. This suggests factors like specific programs and leadership can lead to different outcomes. Graciano Gomez receives less funding per student than several higher-performing neighbors, indicating how resources are used is critical. The school's notable successes with specific student groups and attendance are bright spots it can build upon while working to improve core academic subjects, especially upper-grade math.
