Summary:
The 92408 zip code in San Bernardino, California, contains seven schools serving grades K-12, all operating in a high-poverty area where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among these schools, Ballington Academy for the Arts and Scis - San Bernardino stands out as the top performer, ranking above average statewide for elementary schools and excelling in science, while SOAR Charter Academy has exceptionally good student attendance. In contrast, San Bernardino County Special Education shows severe challenges with graduation and absenteeism despite the highest per-student spending, and H. Frank Dominguez Elementary ranks among the lowest in the state academically.
Overall, charter schools in the area tend to show stronger results than traditional public schools, and mathematics proficiency is a universal challenge. Chronic absenteeism is common but varies widely, with better-attending schools generally having better outcomes. The data reveals that higher spending does not automatically lead to better results, as the most expensive school has the poorest outcomes, while some lower-funded schools like Public Safety Academy achieve high graduation rates.
