Summary

Beardslee Dual Language Immersion Academy is a public K-8 school serving 470 students in Duarte Unified, offering a specialized language program in a community where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science consistently below both district and state averages, and it spends more per student ($20,929) than many nearby schools while achieving lower results. Its performance varies greatly by grade, and despite being a dual-language academy, its results for English Language Learners have declined sharply in recent years. However, the school has made notable progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism, bringing it well below the Duarte Unified district average.

When compared to schools in neighboring districts, the differences are striking; for example, Camino Grove Elementary in Arcadia Unified has much higher test scores and lower absenteeism. Even within its own district, Royal Oaks STEAM Academy (K-8) outperforms Beardslee academically. This highlights how educational outcomes can differ considerably across nearby communities, and for parents considering Beardslee, understanding the school's specific challenges with its immersion program and its ongoing efforts to improve attendance are key factors.
