Summary

Highland Academy is a K-8 public school serving 331 students in Beaumont, California, operating within the Highland Academy District, which is ranked in the lower half of districts statewide.

Academically, the school performs below state averages in all core subjects, with math being a particular area of concern where only about 23% of students are proficient. Its statewide ranking has also declined over the past few years. When compared to other local schools in the Beaumont Unified district, such as Brookside Elementary and Tournament Hills Elementary, Highland Academy's test scores are significantly lower, despite these neighboring schools often serving student populations with greater economic need.

Despite these academic challenges, the school has some positive operational metrics, including a lower student-teacher ratio than nearby schools and a chronic absenteeism rate better than the state average. The school spends less per student than most comparison schools but achieves comparable outcomes to some with similar demographics. The performance gap with nearby schools suggests challenges that may be related to curriculum, instruction, or district-level support rather than student attendance or class size.
