Summary:
ZIP code 92220 has three high schools serving grades 9–12, except Beaumont Middle College High, which serves grades 10–12; the schools range from 68 to 1,145 students and show sharply different academic results. In 2025–26, Beaumont scored 79% in ELA, 58% in math, and 80% in science, exceeding state results by 30, 20, and 44 percentage points, respectively. Its 11th-grade results also topped the state in all three subjects, making Beaumont the area’s clearest academic standout.
Beaumont led the other two schools by 66 points in ELA, 48 in math, and 73 in science compared with New Horizon High, the lowest scorer in every subject. New Horizon’s results were 13% in ELA, 11% in math, and 7% in science; its 78.8% chronic absenteeism was also far above the state’s 18.3%. Banning High fell between the two, with 41% in ELA, 15% in math, and 32% in science. These contrasts mean area averages can obscure very different results among schools.
Recent progress is mixed: Beaumont improved in all three subjects from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while Banning’s ELA and math scores fell and New Horizon’s ELA score fell even as its math and science scores rose. SchoolDigger ranks Beaumont 109th of 2,137 schools (95th percentile; 5 stars), Banning 1,300th (39th percentile; 2 stars), and New Horizon 1,801st (16th percentile; 1 star). The schools’ 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 52% at Beaumont, 92% at Banning, and 88% at New Horizon; these figures describe different school contexts, not causes of results. Their reported student–teacher ratios were 22.5 at Beaumont, 20.7 at Banning, and 10.7 at New Horizon, so the lower ratio at New Horizon does not correspond to higher scores in these data. Beaumont and New Horizon each enroll 68 students, so their results come from small schools, and Beaumont’s different grade span makes 11th grade the fairest direct comparison.
