Gorman Learning Center San Bernardino/Santa Clarit scores 41 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 53rd percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “39% proficient” and call it done. Gorman Learning Center San Bernardino/Santa Clarit deserves a closer read. It sits at the 53rd percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools — but the ranking is the least interesting thing on this page.
The headline number: 3.3% chronic absenteeism — versus 17.9% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.
As a charter, Gorman Learning Center San Bernardino/Santa Clarit enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
