Better than 24% of California elementary schools

Summary

Beulah Payne STEAM Academy is a K-8 public school serving 554 students in the Inglewood Unified School District, consistently ranking in the lower quarter of all California schools.

Academically, the school's test scores in English, math, and science are below state averages, and it faces challenges with chronic student absences and larger class sizes. However, it is showing a clear and promising trend of improvement, moving from the 4th percentile in the state three years ago to the 24th percentile now, with notable gains for students from low-income families. Performance varies significantly by grade, with 8th grade English being a relative strength while 7th grade scores are particularly low, indicating a potential area for focused support.

When compared to nearby schools, Beulah Payne STEAM Academy performs similarly to other schools in Inglewood Unified like Oak Street, but significantly below schools in the neighboring Lennox district, such as Moffett Elementary, and the ICEF Inglewood Elementary Charter Academy. These higher-performing neighboring schools generally have lower absenteeism, more spending per student, and smaller class sizes, suggesting broader, district-level factors may influence outcomes.
