Summary

Parkside Intermediate is a public middle school located in San Bruno, California, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 570. It is part of the San Bruno Park Elementary School District, which is ranked 594 out of 1,565 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Parkside Intermediate's academic performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science tests, is generally below the state and district averages across most grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Parkside Intermediate's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy ranged from 38.69% to 47.89%, compared to the state average of 48.06% to 49.65%. In Mathematics, Parkside's proficiency rates ranged from 26.63% to 40.43%, compared to the state average of 33.94% to 36.6%. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 30.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Parkside Intermediate's academic performance is generally lower than most of the nearby middle schools, such as Thomas R. Pollicita Middle, Fernando Rivera Intermediate, and Crocker Middle, which have higher proficiency rates and rankings. However, Parkside Intermediate performs better than some of the lower-performing schools in the South San Francisco Unified School District, such as Parkway Heights Middle. The school has seen a significant increase in per-student spending and a decrease in student-teacher ratio, which may indicate a focus on improving resources and support for students.
