Summary:
Zip code 92108 has three listed elementary schools serving kindergarten through grade 5 or 6, with enrollments from 152 to 378 students. In the comparable 2024–2025 results, all three were below the state in all-grades English language arts (ELA): their average was 41%, compared with 49% statewide. Math averaged 37%, close to the state’s 37%, but varied more from school to school. The clearest shared concern in these results is ELA; math performance depends more on the individual school.
Ballington Academy for the Arts and Sciences led 2024–2025 ELA at 43%, though it was still 6 points below the state; Ballington Academy for the Arts and Scis - San Bernardino scored 41%, and Nipaquay Elementary scored 39%. Nipaquay led in math at 43%, 6 points above the state, while the El Centro Ballington school scored 30%, 7 points below; San Bernardino scored 38%, about even with the state. In science, available only for the two Ballington schools that year, San Bernardino scored 63% and El Centro 48%, respectively 30 and 15 points above the state. San Bernardino’s all-grades result hides a sharp grade-level contrast: its fifth-grade ELA and math were 94% and 81%, while its fourth-grade results were 14% and 10%.
Nipaquay’s ELA improved from 39% in 2024–2025 to 46% in 2025–2026, narrowing its gap with the state from 10 points to 3 points below. Its math edged down from 43.2% to 42.8% but remained above the state in both years. SchoolDigger’s percentile rankings also rose overall: Nipaquay went from the 51st to the 59th percentile, El Centro from the 44th to the 52nd, and San Bernardino from the 46th to the 51st, though San Bernardino fell from its prior-year 53rd percentile.

Their 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures were 61% at Nipaquay, 77% at El Centro, and 91% at San Bernardino; these are context, not explanations for results.
