San Bernardino City Unified School District
Grades K–125/10
76 schools Rating range: 110 / 10

San Bernardino City Unified is a district in transition, characterized by a 'tale of two districts' where prestigious magnet programs and high-performing schools in the Highland area contrast sharply with a high volume of underperforming schools in impoverished sectors. While the district maintains financial stability through bond-funded facility upgrades and is aggressively expanding successful Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways, it is heavily burdened by significant safety concerns, teacher retention issues, and core math proficiency that lags state averages. The organization's health is currently moderate, buoyed by specialized successes but weighed down by systemic operational challenges and a portfolio where nearly one-third of the schools fall in the bottom tier of state ratings.
