Summary

Godfrey G. Berry Elementary serves 273 students in grades K–6 in San Diego, California, and is the smallest of the 11 nearby schools listed. Its 2025–26 results were below district and state averages in all three tested subjects; science is its clearest concern, with the lowest result among eight nearby K–6 schools.

Mathematics is the school’s relative strength: proficiency was 20%, essentially matching the nearby K–6 average of 20%, though it remained 5 points below the South Bay Union district and 18 points below California. ELA proficiency was 25%, below the nearby-school average of 31% and 12 points below the district. Science proficiency was 9%, versus a nearby-school average of 19%, a district result of 22% and a state result of 36%. Grade-level results also vary: sixth-grade math was the second-highest among nearby K–6 schools, while fifth-grade math and science were both 9%, the lowest in those peer comparisons.

Results have weakened in some areas even as attendance improved. ELA fell 5 points over four years, and its gap to the state widened to 24 points; math changed little over that period, while the science gap widened to 27 points. Chronic absenteeism dropped 27 points, from 54% in 2021–22 to 27% in 2025–26, but remained above the district’s 22% and the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger’s statewide standing fell 8 percentile points, from the 21st percentile in 2023–24 to the 13th in 2025–26; it had 1 star in both years. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 24.8, close to the nearby average of 24.9, and 75% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings stood out: English Language Learner Students ranked at the 54th percentile in 2023–24, compared with 21st overall; Special Education Students ranked at the 77th percentile in 2022–23, compared with 27th overall.
