Summary

Sundance Elementary is a 735-student K–5 school in Beaumont, California, part of Beaumont Unified. Its clearest academic strength is mathematics: 51% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, the highest rate among the district’s seven K–5 schools and about 13 percentage points above both the district and state.

Math stands out, while ELA is the clearest academic concern. In ELA, 47% of students were proficient, compared with 53% in the district and 49% statewide; Sundance ranked sixth among the seven district K–5 schools. The weakness was especially clear in third grade: 37% were proficient, below the district’s 49% and the state’s 44%, and the lowest result among those schools. Science was more mixed: 34% proficiency was about 1 point above the district and 2 below the state, placing Sundance fourth among the seven schools. Fourth-grade math was a particular bright spot, with 55% proficient—the highest among district peers.

Results have shifted over time: math rose 6 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while science fell 13 points from its 2024–2025 result. ELA finished near its 2022–2023 level, after a higher result in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger rated Sundance at the 63rd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, down 6 percentile points from the prior year. Its statewide rating for how well it serves African American students was notably higher, at the 86th percentile; its rating for White students was lower, at the 30th percentile, down 24 points from the year before. In 2024–2025, 74% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Chronic absenteeism was 21% in 2025–2026, above the district’s 14% and the state’s 18%, despite having fallen from 32% in 2021–2022.
