Its clearest academic strength in 2025–26 was math, while science was its weakest subject compared with both the state and district.

Among nine nearby schools in Tustin Unified, Beswick ranked fourth in ELA, sixth in math and fifth in science. Overall, its results were around the middle of the nearby group, with ELA a relative strength and science a relative weakness.

Results rose in all three subjects from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA gained 15 percentage points, math 13 and science 14. Since 2022–23, ELA and math have also made substantial gains, while science improved by 4 points and its gap to the state widened slightly.
