SAN BERNARDINO, CA—The Educational Results Partnership (ERP) named six San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) campuses to its 2024 Honor Roll for being high-performing schools that improve student academic outcomes.
The award-winning schools are Hillside University Demonstration School, Kimbark Elementary School, Paakuma’ K–8 School, Richardson PREP HI Middle School, Rodriguez PREP Academy Middle School and Middle College High School.
“This honor reflects the dedication of our students, staff and families who work together tirelessly to ensure our students achieve excellence every day,” said Superintendent Mauricio Arellano. “We are committed to fostering a learning environment where everyone can learn, and this recognition affirms that we truly are on the right path.”
SBCUSD is focused on creating opportunities where every student can reach their full potential. This honor reflects the District’s multiyear vision to maintain high standards and collaboration so that all learners can succeed.
Except for Paakuma’ K–8 School, five of the schools had previously been honored by ERP.
Kimbark was previously honored in 2015, 2016 and 2023 and Hillside was recognized nine times from 2012–2024. Richardson has been named to the Honor Roll 12 times from 2008–2024. Rodriguez has made the ERP Honor Roll seven times from 2012–2024, and Middle College is a six-time honoree from 2010–2024.
All of this year’s honorees earned the Star Award, which recognizes Honor Roll schools that are high performing and closing the achievement gap despite being high-need schools.
ERP did not publish the honor roll from 2020–2022.
ERP is a non-profit organization that uses public school achievement data to help improve student outcomes and career readiness. ERP Honor Roll schools have demonstrated consistently high levels of student academic achievement, improvement in achievement levels over time and a reduction in achievement gaps among student populations.
