Summary

Beattie Middle serves 1,072 students in grades 6–8 in Highland, California. Its 2025–26 results place it among the stronger nearby schools overall, but it remains below both Redlands Unified and California in every tested subject. The most important takeaway is that Beattie is locally competitive, but still has a proficiency gap to close across English language arts (ELA), math, and science.

Its district gaps were 4 points in ELA, 2 in math, and 4 in science, making math its closest result to the district and science its clearest shortfall. Among the three other Redlands Unified middle schools, Beattie ranked second in all three subjects. Across seven nearby schools serving grades 6–8 with results, it ranked third in ELA and fourth in math and science; Colonel Joseph C. Rodriguez PREP Academy was far ahead of the other nearby schools.

Since 2022–23, ELA proficiency has slipped from 49% to 47%, math has edged up from 34% to 35%, and science has ended at 29%, unchanged overall after reaching 37% in 2024–25.

Open Quote I have had one graduate from Beattie middle school and I have one more to go in my experience the school is top notch 100% great teacher's Close Quote

Open Quote We have had two children attend this school...Unfortunately, our experiences have been very very poor. With two seperate principals we have asked for extra help for our students with very negative results... Teachers have not done what they have agreed to do to help our children accurately record their assignments nor have the ensured that they were completed. The principal has lied and caused our child to cry and loose sleep by telling him that he should be in special education. The district "supervisors" have failed to hold any teacher or pricipal accountable for doing their jobs and routinely back their teachers fully, no matter what they do or how they do it. We have many many friends who experience the same non-caring teachers and administrators at this school. We have just now begun informing the board of education and will contact our attorneys and media outlets if necessary, though we hope it will not be necessary. The school board will have to provide some executive insight into this school. Close Quote
