Summary:

The Beardsley Elementary district has four schools: three elementary schools serving K–6 and one junior high serving grades 7–8. In 2025–26, the three elementary schools averaged 21% proficiency in ELA, 12% in math and 13% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. Even the best elementary result in each subject remained below the state figure, making low proficiency across all three subjects the most important area-wide finding.

North Beardsley Elementary stands out among the elementary schools, leading in ELA, math and science at 24%, 15% and 16%. Those results are about 6, 4 and 5 percentage points higher, respectively, than the average of the other two elementary schools. Beardsley Elementary had the lowest elementary ELA and math results, at 18% and 8%—about 4 and 7 points below the average of the other two. San Lauren Elementary had the lowest elementary science result, 9%, but its fourth graders reached 27% in math, compared with 14% at North Beardsley and 8% at Beardsley Elementary. Beardsley Junior High had the highest all-grades ELA and science results in the four-school group, but it serves different grades, so that is not a direct comparison with the elementary schools.

Results over time are mixed, and the state comparison worsened: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, the four-school average fell about 2 percentage points in ELA and math and rose about 1 point in science, while the state result rose in all three subjects. The elementary-school averages declined in every subject—about 4 points in ELA, 2 in math and 1 in science. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 rankings place North Beardsley at the 9th percentile, San Lauren at the 6th and Beardsley Elementary at the 3rd among elementary schools; the junior high is at the 14th percentile among middle schools. Student–teacher ratios in 2024–25 were 22.9 at North Beardsley, 20.0 at Beardsley Elementary and 21.9 at San Lauren, so the lowest ratio did not align with the highest results. The 2024–25 income measures differ: North Beardsley and Beardsley Elementary reported 78% and 77% directly certified for free meals and were marked as likely using Community Eligibility, while San Lauren reported 95% and the junior high 97% free/reduced lunch eligible; these are contextual measures, not explanations of achievement.
