of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 3% of California elementary schools

Summary

Belshaw Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 431 students in the Antioch Unified district, operating in a high-need community where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Belshaw Elementary faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 3% of all California schools with proficiency rates well below state averages in English, math, and science. Chronic absenteeism, where students miss 10% or more of school days, is high at 35%. Compared to nearby schools, Belshaw's performance is among the lowest, ranking just above Marsh Elementary. A notable contrast exists with local charter schools like Antioch Charter Academy and Antioch Charter Academy II, which have much higher academic rankings and dramatically lower absenteeism rates, despite similar student demographics and lower per-student spending.

Despite having the highest per-student spending among nearby district schools, Belshaw also has the highest student-teacher ratio, indicating resources may not be directly reaching classroom instruction. Performance varies greatly by grade, with fourth-grade scores being particularly low. The school has shown a historical decline in ranking over the past decade. Within the district, schools like Sutter Elementary and Muir (John) Elementary demonstrate that stronger outcomes are possible in the same community, often correlating with better attendance.
