Best Public Schools in Zip Code 92410

Zip code 92410 in the San Bernardino/Rialto area contains 16 public schools serving grades K-12, where nearly all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, presenting both significant challenges and notable success stories.

The schools show extreme variation in performance, with standout institutions like Richardson PREP High Middle (ranking in the state's 99th percentile) and Middle College High (with a 100% graduation rate) demonstrating that high achievement is possible here. In contrast, schools like Sierra High and Monterey Elementary rank in the bottom 20% and 5% statewide, respectively, struggling with very low test scores and, at Sierra High, a catastrophic chronic absenteeism rate of 91.9%.

Charter schools, including Richardson PREP, Hardy Brown College Prep, and Savant Preparatory Academy of Business, consistently outperform traditional schools in the San Bernardino City Unified district. Key challenges across the area include chronic absenteeism rates nearly double the state average and particular difficulty with mathematics proficiency, though top schools prove these obstacles can be overcome with effective programs and strong student engagement.
