Summary

Beechwood Elementary is a top-performing K-8 school serving 872 students in the Fullerton Elementary district, consistently ranking among the very best schools in California.

Academically, Beechwood stands out in the region, with its students significantly outperforming both district and state averages in English, Math, and Science. It is ranked 135th out of over 5,800 elementary schools statewide, placing it in the top 2%. This performance exceeds most nearby schools, including Acacia Elementary and Raymond Elementary, with only Laguna Road Elementary in the same district achieving a similar elite status. The school is particularly effective in supporting all student groups, with historically exceptional results for English Language Learners and students from low-income households.

Beyond test scores, Beechwood operates efficiently with a lower chronic absenteeism rate (4.5%) than neighboring schools like Rolling Hills Elementary and Hermosa Drive Elementary, and it achieves its outstanding results with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than several comparable local schools. While maintaining a decade of high performance, a slight dip in middle school math scores presents a noted opportunity for continued growth within this exceptional school.
