Class loads run heavy: 28.7:1 is larger than about 94% of California schools and 33% above the 21.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need is high: 82.7% of students qualify for free meals, 49% above the California average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
Enrollment of 659 puts it in the larger third of California schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 9,998 scored California schools.
Among 1,840 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #1,393, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (84% of enrollment) (diversity index 29/100).

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 51.0% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 16.3% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among San Bernardino's elementary schools, it stands alongside Paakuma K-8 (940 students): Del Rosa Elementary is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (28.7:1 vs 20.9:1).
