Summary

H. Frank Dominguez Elementary serves 297 students in grades K–6 in San Bernardino. Its 2025–26 proficiency results remain below state and San Bernardino City Unified averages in all three tested subjects. The biggest concern is science and math: just 12% of students were proficient in science and 18% in math, compared with 36% and 38% statewide.

ELA is Dominguez’s strongest subject relative to its benchmarks and nearby same-district schools: 35% were proficient, close to the nearby-school average of 36%, though below the district’s 39% and the state’s 49%. Math and science are weaker in those comparisons: math proficiency was 18%, versus a 21% nearby-school average, 26% districtwide and 38% statewide; science was 12%, versus 19% nearby, 25% districtwide and 36% statewide. Sixth-grade ELA is a bright spot: 50% were proficient, above the state’s 48% and district’s 41%. For a striking nearby contrast, Savant Preparatory Academy of Business had 70% proficiency in ELA, 65% in math and 61% in science—35, 48 and 49 percentage points above Dominguez.

Results have improved since 2022–23, especially in ELA: proficiency rose from 18% to 35%, while math increased from 11% to 18% and science from 9% to 12%. But science has not kept pace with state gains, and chronic absenteeism remains high at 39%, compared with 29% districtwide and 18% statewide. SchoolDigger ranked Dominguez at the 20th percentile and gave it 1 star in 2025–26, an improvement from the 3rd percentile in each of the prior two years. Its 17.4 students per teacher in 2024–25 was lower than the ratios at the five nearby same-district schools, while 98% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how effectively the school served English Language Learner students fell from the 55th percentile in 2021–22 to the 13th in 2023–24; the school’s overall percentile was 11 and 3 in those respective years.
