Summary

Starlight Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 872 students in the Beaumont Unified School District, consistently ranking in the top third of all California elementary schools.

The school is a standout for its excellent math program, where student scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages, and it outperforms nearby schools like Brookside Elementary and Sundance Elementary. Starlight also shows remarkable effectiveness in supporting student groups, achieving high statewide rankings for its students from low-income families. Furthermore, the school has made impressive strides in improving daily attendance, now having a lower rate of chronic absenteeism than both the district and state, which is a key factor in its overall success.

While its overall state ranking is strong, Starlight delivers these results with moderate per-student spending compared to some peers like Anna Hause Elementary. The school has shown steady improvement over the last five years. Areas for continued focus include science scores and special education services, which have seen recent fluctuations. Within the high-performing Beaumont Unified district, Starlight Elementary represents a compelling case of strong academic achievement, particularly in mathematics, combined with effective support for all students.
