Summary:
This analysis covers the single middle school, Arrowview Middle, serving grades 6-8 in the 92405 zip code of San Bernardino, which operates within the San Bernardino City Unified school district.
Arrowview Middle serves a high-need community, with nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, student proficiency is below state averages across all subjects, with the most significant gap in mathematics, where proficiency is less than half the state average. However, a closer look reveals a point of resilience: while 6th-grade English scores start very low, by 8th grade, students nearly match the district average, suggesting meaningful academic growth during their middle school years.
The most pressing challenge for the school is a chronic absenteeism rate of 35.5%, which is substantially higher than both the district and state averages and is a major barrier to learning. The school is supported by high per-student spending, reflecting significant investment to address student needs. Its statewide ranking has remained stable in the lower percentiles over recent years, indicating consistent operations despite profound socioeconomic challenges. For parents, this school represents a context where substantial resources are being deployed to support student growth in a demanding environment, with attendance being a critical factor for student success.
