Summary

Starlight Elementary is a K–5 school with 872 students in Beaumont, part of Beaumont Unified. It is a relatively large elementary school locally, with the second-largest enrollment among eight nearby K–5 schools in the district. The most important finding for families is that its all-grades English language arts, math and science results are above both district and state averages, while ranking third among those eight local schools in each subject.

The school is strong across all three subjects, with math showing its largest lead over the district: 48% of students met the standard, compared with 38% districtwide and 38% statewide. ELA was 56%, versus 53% in the district and 49% statewide; science was 40%, versus 33% and 36%. Starlight also scored above the nearby-school averages in all three subjects. At grade level, fourth-grade ELA stands out: 59% met the standard, the highest result among nearby district schools. Fifth-grade math is the clearest concern: 37% met the standard, 3 points below the district and sixth among the eight local schools, though slightly above the state.

Results have risen substantially since 2022–23: ELA and science each gained about 13 percentage points, and math gained about 10, although math fell 5 points from its 2024–25 peak. SchoolDigger places Starlight at the 69th statewide percentile and gives it 3 stars; its 24.5:1 student–teacher ratio is close to the local average of 24.2:1. The school reported 66% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; this is context, not a measure of who can access meals, since California students receive free school meals. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 33% in 2021–22 to 13% in 2025–26, tied for the lowest rate among nearby district schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide subgroup rankings show notably stronger relative standing for Low Socio Economic Status Students, at the 86th percentile, and weaker standing for Special Education Students, at the 39th percentile, compared with Starlight’s overall 69th percentile.
