Summary:
This analysis covers nine schools in San Bernardino's 92405 zip code, serving about 5,500 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, all of which face significant academic challenges within a district ranking in the state's bottom quarter.
Among these schools, San Bernardino High stands out for its 92% graduation rate, which is above the state average, while Riley Elementary shows the strongest math scores and Marshall Elementary has better attendance. In contrast, Lincoln Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in California, and the independent ASA Charter reports very high dropout and chronic absenteeism rates.
Overall, test scores in English, math, and science are below state averages across all schools in the San Bernardino City Unified district, with chronic absenteeism a common concern. However, the higher graduation rate at the high school suggests some successful interventions, and the variation in performance between schools with similar demographics indicates that specific programs and attendance policies can make a measurable difference for students.
