Summary

Guess Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Beaumont, TX, serving 722 students within the Beaumont Independent School District (Isd), where over 80% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has experienced a steep and concerning decline in recent years, dropping from the 43rd percentile in state rankings in 2020-2021 to the 3rd percentile in 2025-2026, a much sharper fall than nearby schools like Curtis Elementary (which dropped from the 52nd to 21st percentile) or Regina Howell Elementary (which dropped from the 62nd to 41st percentile). This volatility suggests significant systemic challenges, as the school has struggled to maintain consistent performance across grade levels and student groups.

One notable bright spot is 4th Grade Reading, where Guess has consistently outperformed the district average—37.6% of 4th graders were proficient in 2025-2026 compared to the district's 29.56%, a pattern seen in prior years as well. However, this strength is overshadowed by extreme underperformance among its Low Socio-Economic Status students, who ranked in the 3rd percentile statewide in 2025-2026, the worst of any subgroup. Additionally, a previously strong program for Special Education students, which ranked in the 74th and 81st percentiles in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, collapsed to the 20th percentile in the most recent data, raising questions about recent changes in staffing or curriculum.

Comparisons with nearby schools highlight the role of economic factors and district resources. Curtis Elementary, just 4 miles away, has a lower rate of economic disadvantage (62.67% vs. 80.47% free/reduced lunch) and consistently outperforms Guess in nearly every subject—for example, 54% of Curtis 3rd graders were proficient in Reading in 2024-2025 versus 34% at Guess. Meanwhile, the nearby Bob Hope School Beaumont, a charter school, shows mixed results, with some grades performing well (like 8th Grade Reading at 80% proficient) but others similar to Guess (like 3rd Grade Math at 26.9%). Across the district, 5th Grade Science is a universal weakness, with only 13.54% of Guess 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, slightly above the district average of 12.55% but far below the state average of 29.57%.
