Summary:
The Highland Academy District in Beaumont, California, contains a single K-8 school, Highland Academy, serving 331 students from kindergarten through 8th grade.
This analysis of Highland Academy shows a school with a stable performance history but significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency is consistently below state averages across all grades. The school's performance in English Language Arts is more varied, with 8th graders nearly matching the state average while 7th graders score significantly lower, indicating a notable one-year jump that merits attention. On a positive note, the school's chronic absenteeism rate is better than the state average, suggesting a supportive school environment where students are engaged and regularly attending.
With moderate per-student spending and a student-teacher ratio of 19.4 to 1, the school operates with resources that are slightly below the typical California average. The consistent 2-star rating over multiple years indicates established performance patterns rather than recent improvement or decline. For parents, the key takeaways are the school's strength in student attendance, the specific challenge in mathematics achievement, and the unusual performance swing between 7th and 8th grade in ELA, which could be a focus for school improvement efforts.
