Summary

Beechwood Elementary is a K–8 school in Fullerton, serving 872 students in the Fullerton Elementary district, among several nearby elementary schools. Its clearest distinction is that it had the highest reported nearby all-grade proficiency in 2025–26 in English language arts (ELA), math and science: 81%, 80% and 69%, respectively.

Beechwood’s results are also well ahead of district and state results in every tested subject. Its largest district and state advantages are in math: 28 and 41 percentage points, respectively; in science, its lead over the next-highest nearby school, Laguna Road Elementary, is largest at 8 points. Its nearby-school leads are 5 points in math and 3 in ELA. Eighth grade is a relative low point for Beechwood, though its ELA and math results remain 21 and 31 points above state results for that grade. It also does not lead in every shared grade: Laguna Road is ahead in sixth-grade ELA and fourth-grade math. Because Beechwood serves through grade 8 while most nearby schools serve fewer grades, all-grade comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like; Brea Online Academy has no reportable test scores.

Results have climbed since 2022–23: Beechwood gained 9 percentage points in ELA, 12 in math and 18 in science, while its leads over California widened in all three subjects. SchoolDigger ranks the school 90th of 5,804 statewide, at the 98th percentile with five stars. Its 26.3 student–teacher ratio is near the nearby-school median of 25.5. In 2024–25, 28% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 46% average at five nearby schools in the same district; this is context, not an explanation for scores. Chronic absenteeism was 4% in 2025–26, below the district’s 9% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Multi-racial Students rose from 79 in 2017–18 to 99 in 2025–26, a 20-point increase in its measure of how well the school serves this group.
