Beiriger Elementary consistently outperforms the Griffith Public Schools district in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, Beiriger's ELA proficiency was 37.16%, compared to the district's 33.53%, and its Math proficiency was 50.61%, compared to the district's 40.53%.
