School Overview

Bear Gulch Elementary sits in the western end of Rancho Cucamonga, a sprawling Inland Empire city known for its wide streets, mountain views, and family-friendly subdivisions that draw a lot of working-class and middle-class households priced out of the LA basin. The school serves a community that values stability and routine, and families here tend to be rooted and involved in their local schools. Academically, Bear Gulch sits below the state midpoint across English, math, and science, so families who prioritize strong test performance may want to weigh that alongside the school's neighborhood feel and proximity to the resources Rancho Cucamonga has to offer.
